Literary magazines will come back 3 years later to tell you they didn’t want your story. Like bitch why. What story. Who the fuck are you 💙📚 #books #writing #booksky

One thing about living in NYC is that the dog barking:man barking ratio is not as lopsided as you might hope

Make sure you get two friends to beta read your manuscript so that you can hear completely opposite things about every part of it 💙📚 #books #writing #booksky

Writing is fun cause sometimes you spend 18 hours sweating over a terrible story and sometimes you crank out something great in 45 minutes 💙📚 #books #writing #booksky

It feels scary to give someone a manuscript to beta read, but don’t worry! Nothing they’ll say will possibly be as cruel and crushing as what you’ve already told yourself about it 💙📚 #books #writing #booksky

What if you wrote a 700 page Ulysses-style tome but the middle third was just a bunch of stuff copied from the dictionary. How many agents would you have to submit it to for someone to figure it out 💙📚 #books #writing #booksky

Living in New York really broadens your horizons. I’ve learned that no matter what someone’s race, gender, class, or creed, they are equally capable of behaving like an absolute mouth-breather in the subway #nyc

I love the song Yesterday, but the lyric “why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say/I said something wrong/now I long for yesterday” makes me think that Paul McCartney DEFINITELY knows what he said wrong and is denying it #music #beatles
