we recently found an old blog that ian had started in 2005. it’s filled with fake excerpts from books, short stories from ian that are incredible to read and hilarious and prove, once again, that he is a much better writer than me.

Excerpt from the book “Raising Tide Of Worry Or Doubt”

He responded, while pointlessly fiddling with the decorative cloth napkin on the table, that he felt that dialogue was the most difficult part of writing a novel.

I’m like…ugh, so true. You have so much like, you know, true stuff to say.” This was the first thing his date had said all night that he had agreed with.’
