Free advice: if you find Quentin Tarantino bashing you in the press… repeat after me.
“I was unaware that Harvey Weinstein’s best friend was so critical of me and my work.”

Some shows start to act as fanfic of themselves. I feel like one of the hardest things has to be keeping that narrative ascent.
I think not being precious about keeping the characters and status quo intact is one way. When they start to pile up and things have to be found for them to do, they slow

I love these with all my heart.

Don’t forget this is actually what is hiding behind the leadership at Unbound/Boundless protestations of “aw shucks publishing is a risky business market and sometimes when you’re really weally bwave and twy to help authors shit happens but we did our best honest”

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.
But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

A Canadian Exit is when everyone gets tired and leaves at 10:00
Hard agree. If you’re at an intimate dinner, you can’t exactly sneak out, but you still don’t need to make a huge deal of it. If you’re at a large drinks party, I think it can be actively rude to tell your host you’re leaving - there’s no need to make them feel like the party is ending early.
100% correct about the value of the ‘Irish exit’. It always amazes me when people leaving early insist on making it extremely clear that they are leaving early. No one cares! Just go.

apparently in WW2 the SIS considered jizz to be the most effective difficult to detect secret ink, but there were too many social implications around its manufacture to make it viable.
Or were there.

I'm just at the end of doing an edit pass on three books and the em-dash is the fix for at least 1/8th of the sentence structure issues.

Diana Gabaldon really lacks creativity when it comes to making bad things happen to female characters. Like does she know that other things happen to women that are bad even in the 18th century.

staying up all night to edit your book doesn't count if it's pouring rain outside.

I strongly encourage you not to allow yourself to be emotionally affected by the supposed results of any poll whose respondents all participated because doing so got them free coins in their favorite mobile game.

Oh she’s okay she’s just gonna walk it off.
Oh did you just have your first sexual experience with a guy you’re into? Better punish that with an assault. Also why the fuck would she keep staying in the same tavern where her rapist is hanging out. This whole episode is sloppy.

Roger is such a baby. Why would you marry that.
Bri is kinda dim. How exactly do you make an 18th century transatlantic crossing as a 20th century person and forget to tell the servant you accidentally indentured you’re stepping out for a bit.
I’m going to assume it’s to set up being arrested for boffing that highland historian nerd.

Writers, filmmakers, artists, musicians...sometimes all of the above. Some of you are so wonderfully, maddeningly talented. Keep doing what you're doing. It's what makes this big, round place worth being on.

Yes, teenage girl. I did just give you a fry when you asked. But now you’re going in my story. That is the cost of being a weird little guy
