I'm aware that people enjoy creating categories that make it easier to digest pop culture or the media or entertainment or whatever. But I really have too much to do to fit into any easy category.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like any category; categories are not my favorite subject. They're too confining.
There are some people who fit into categories very well. But then there are a lot who don't.
Putting myself into categories is fun, and I think it also gives me insight into my own nature. When I see myself more clearly, I can more easily see ways that I might do things differently, to make myself happier. Categories can be unhelpful, however, when they become too all-defining, or when they become an excuse.
People wanted to put me in one category, I think because it was easier for them.
Genre categories are irrelevant. I dislike them, but I do not have the casting vote.
The idea is to be unrestrained by categories.
I think we get too hung up on categories. Obviously, the book market has to categorise things, and it makes it easier for a reader to go into a bookshop and choose, but as a writer, it helps to get rid of all of that and imagine you are a storyteller around a campfire.
I have worked really hard to defy categorization, to break down a taxonomy whenever it comes my way.
I'm very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.
I've never liked categories; I've never liked boxes; I've always tried to be unconventional as much as I possibly could.
