Good morning friends

Absolutely I do

I missed a “do you want Dairy Queen” text and I still haven’t gotten over it

I will never cease to be amazed by books. Seriously. Just think about it; thousands of people read the same book, but in everyone’s brain’s the characters look different, the setting changes etc. We are all reading the same thing, but it's so unique to each of us.
That is a beautiful thing.

For every 50 likes I’ll lick my own elbow like a lizard

In order to sell books I must spend time on social media but the more time I spend on social media the less time and focus I have to write my giant books which makes it harder to sell the books I already have but all I want to do is write books so I can sell them so I must spend time on social med—

Good morning I feel like death warmed over how’s it going?

Sounds very exciting! I’m just working on writing and class today

Just ordered myself a Walkman, I’m gonna be the coolest person in town now

Do you? 😂

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Good morning, what’s everyone up to today?

How are we doing today sky friends?

🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐

Really good today thank you!

Good morning trekkies, how’s it going?

House of Leaves is my favorite right now!

No one is coming to save us. We’ve got to be there for each other.

I’m an aspiring writer and book lover!

God I hate hold music, I’ve been on hold for 20 minutes now and it just keeps playing this obnoxious jazz music

Oregon!

Sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out to be a writer. Not the writing part. I would write every day whether I had any readers or not. No, the part that's difficult for me is this idea of marketing myself. It feels like every step in the process contradicts everything about my upbringing & my values.

Upsettlingly, in order to finish writing my book, I have to actually write the rest of my book.

Good morning sky friends, I’m having coffee and cuddling up in my bed. How’s your morning going?

Oh no!

I did that all of Christmas for a few weeks

Good morning everyone, how’s your day going? Slow morning for me.

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.
