I have long thought of stuffing as my favorite turkey dinner component, but when I think about it I realize I've had truly good stuffing from two, maybe three different recipes. everything else has been mush

there is a particular chair Tillie sometimes likes to sit in, but even when she has no interest in sitting in it, NO ONE ELSE is allowed to sit in it either. if you try she comes and stares at you and cries

I was EXTREMELY lucky to get a solid advance on my novel, but if I had tried to live on it I'd have been fully in the red almost immediately. Being a person is fucking expensive and following your dreams doesn't usually come with dental.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

me theorizing about "Bar": it's cool that he's taking advantage of something that painting can do and photography can't in order to communicate more information :)
everyone else theorizing about "Bar": the disruption of the visual plane is communism because of reasons you are too dumb to understand

remembering how I once was assigned a book for class that was entirely analysis of the optical distortion of the mirror in Manet's "Bar at the Folies-Bergère"; no one liked my suggestion that he just fudged the optics so that he could paint more of the room
