Something that doesn't get talked about is the fact that writer's advances don't get adjusted for cost of living. The good advance I got in 2009 is the same good advance on my current contract. It's just industry standard.

Came across this today, and I’m mulling it over. I think there’s a lot of truth in it. "One reason a lot of people's daydreams get 'smaller' [when they become adults] is because there's a lot of happiness in an ordinary life, if you can get there."

Do I like sunburn and mosquito bites? No. Do I appreciate sand in delicate places? Also no. Does that mean I am I happy to be back at work? Once again, no. Life do be that way sometimes.
