There’s a difficult irony that many people would really rather not have to think about this (ie what started in 2020 that’s clearly still happening)… but willingness to confront it is also the best way to reduce your odds of ending up on this chart + having to think about it all the fucking time.

Write the stories you want to write. Because then, no matter what happens, no matter what markets are or aren’t there, you’ll at least have written the stories you want to write.

Most publishing workers don't want to use AI, and being able to point to public outcry and contract language helps us push back against it 👇
Ask your agent to request anti-AI provisions in the contract/push back against clauses that require them to ok AI use! We kept saying “authors will hate this” and being told “nobody’s complained”

It is more important to create than submit work
to submit work than worry about being published
to publish at all than be too precious about where or when
to have work read than get awards
to be nominated at all than win—
And it is more important to make what you love than never risk failing.

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

You can never have too many photos of roses to lift the spirits, right? This stunning one was taken after a light shower this morning. They’re always a delight, but even more precious now as the season draws to a close. There’s one bud left—though I’m not sure it will bloom.
