Reached the 100th page of the first draft of my book today! Gonna celebrate by getting to page 101 since I can’t stop and it’s 11:40pm.

trying to remember that i'm a good writer not because i know what to do in the first or second or third draft... but because i learn from the writing what to do by the fifth or fifteenth draft

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like
