Ugh I can’t believe I missed this!!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Love to sit down to write comedy while they try to start another world war before breakfast

Someone who is good at the economy please help. My industry is dying.

Oh dear. General reminder: us published authors can offer advice for getting published, but that's about it. We hold no magic key. Most of us are rather baffled we got picked to have a book published, and even more baffled that so many of our other manuscripts *haven't* gotten picked up.

Sorry. ☹️

I just started too!!! 🫂

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

A doodle titled “yeah I love the writing process” and showing four different scenes. A figure hunched over a piece of paper, another hunched ferally over a laptop, a third making a “werk queen” face at a keyboard, and a fourth dissociating in their chair.

Back at it again in the mines

@brianabreaks.bsky.social loved that you included Nerf Herder's "Nose Ring Girl" on the Raised by Ghosts mixed tape! I may have audibly squealed in the library.

Yet again feeling guilty for the stack of friends books I haven't gotten to reading yet. If I haven't read yours, I'm sorry! It's a good problem to have though. 😅

My forever problem! ♾️

Six more days! It's about a girl who inherits a business called The Unfinished Business, and is then tasked with finishing the unfinished business of the late, ghostly owner of The Unfinished Business. It's very whimsical and (I think) very charming.

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online
