"… but rather a matter of a personal micro-culture"

in

While Gibson fuses the idea of "personal micro-culture" here to writing fiction, I've long considered not only all of my writing, fiction or non–, but also my postings into the ether of here as the digital representatives of the personal micro-culture that makes me well, me:

"And thus we are shaped as writers, I believe, not so much by who our favorite writers are as by our general experience of fiction. Learning to write fiction, we learn to listen for our own acquired sense of what feels right, based on the totality of the pleasure (or its lack) that fiction has provided us. Not direct emulation, but rather a matter of a personal micro-culture."

Recording (and refreshing my memory of) it in this space as a sort of statement of creative intent for the incoming year.
