I’m going to keep saying it until it happens:

My writing will be the reason my house gets paid off.

My writing will be the reason why I won’t have to work a 9-5 the rest of my life.

My writing will be the reason why I can finally know how it feels to live comfortable in this lifetime.

so many people in their 30s should try the "let go this author you love cause they've done some horrible shit" quiet challenge

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

I don’t think that coming up with lists of “good” authors helps anyone. on a very basic level: you have no way of knowing if that’s true about anyone.
