Observing the grime of London one bleak street at a time. Too much misery, not enough pie.
I write a scene where one poor man has a bad day and suddenly every reviewer is a philosopher.
Just saw a critic call my novels long. Sir, I wrote pressure, momentum, and rent collection in installments.

Every time I hear someone say my novels are too long, I assume they simply fear a man with deadlines and opinions.
