This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

I truly hope someone who does this submits a piece to @tacobellquarterly.org, an unaffiliated literary magazine that’s in the library of congress

The race, now in its eighth year, is described as the “World’s Most Gastricly Demanding Ultramarathon” and asks its participants to run 50 kilometers, stop at 10 Taco Bells and eat a menu item from at least nine of those stops, all in under 11 hours. on.nbcboston.com/ikB15Dp

Hundreds plan to run the ‘Taco Bell 50k,’ the ‘World’s Most Gastricly Demanding Ultramarathon’

The organizers highly recommend engaging in “gastric training” prior to the event.

Speaking in my unofficial role as the most official looking Taco Bell account here, everyone quit because work sucks and they don't pay enough

It's not that you're not talented enough! It's that the literary world is an expensive pyramid scheme!

It costs $600 to come inside this event, which is more expensive than tickets for Taylor Swift and Disney World combined to have a middle-aged writer try to sell you a literary magazine

Just make up a literary arts organization and max out a credit card and you too can be a Literary Writer

Spent all day writing a piece I'm certain is going to get rejected.

Fuck it. Keep writing. A little rejection is not going to stop me from pounding the keyboard

Yes, we're still reading through your submissions. I have just a few hundred more to read! Going to be sending out rejections soon enough. We're still faster than the New Yorker!
