Unless you have a major breakout book it might take a good 15 to 25 years to have a fanbase that aren't other writers.
alternatively, what’s a hard to swallow pill for writers/authors, in your experience? either about the process or the industry

Her: What is a book you’re proud to have published?
Me: Girl Like a Bomb.
Her: What’s it about?
Me: A woman learns that when people sleep with her they become their best selves.
Her: That’s like my life but the exact opposite.

Ugh, let art be messy. A book is not a fucking class or a perfect attendance score, it’s someone’s self-expression no matter how dark or unsavory. Let it be that and not some Wikipediaesque checklist they need to meet.

This is why CLASH exists. Amy's novel All Our Tomorrows is fucking amazing and I didn't care about her following or any of that bullshit. The book felt special so I'm publishing it.
Does anyone know what a "large platform" counts as? Admittedly, I didn't mention my OTHER Twitter to this agent -- where I have 5.8k followers -- but I suspect that even that wouldn't be enough of a "fully-developed platform". Thoughts? How many followers is "enough"?

If someone submitted a novel with "They gave me a hate name – Eve Fartlow." as the first line, I'd publish that novel.
I was a progressive. I believe in the rights of all, including Jews. The latter got me tarnished with labels. The antisemites went to lengths. They made fake tweets by me to "prove" that I'm a racist, a TERF, an islamophobe, an ableist. They gave me a hate name – Eve Fartlow.

You know in a romcom when the great bridesmaid who's done like a million weddings finally gets married and feels euphoric joy. That's what it feels like as a writer who is a publisher who finally signs a contract for their own book. I'm no longer on submission!

Remy is doing much better today, my hair not so much. Very relieved after yesterday. Scary night but today is much better. Thanks to all who sent kind words ❤️
Had a lousy evening yesterday. Remy took some meds he found & we had to take him to the ER. He probably didn’t take much but he had to drink charcoal & get blood drawn for tests. He slept most of the time thankfully, but hated the other stuff. We’re back home & he’s doing great.

In my 20s I thought I'd write an important literary novel about God & existentialism that would be part of the cultural conversation. I turned 30 & wrote an erotica parody about Kirk Cameron having sex with a Crocoduck that went viral. Dream big & you'll get somewhere close to it

With being friends with other “artists” in your field, it matters way less about who sells more or is more famous etc & more about mutual inspiration and what you can learn from other. That’s the shit that really matters & of course having fun and good time with them!

Something personal about me. My mom was an artist who had talent but it didn’t do much with it & then got dementia, Parkinson’s, & Alzheimer’s & couldn’t make art. So if you’re like, “damn christoph creates a lot, wonder why.” I guess that’s why. I miss her. Happy Mother’s Day.

Reading over probably 5,000 submissions in the past 5 years, I feel people are writing what they think a novel should be instead of the novel only they can write. Make sure it’s something special, have it stand out.

I think the biggest misconception I see from young writers is this idea that “great ones” are assholes. Maybe that was true last century but I’ve been fortunate to meet a lot of the great ones now & they are actually pretty chill & kind. Sorry to nicepill y’all but it’s true.

Why did I hear the end of this Tweet in the melody of Hole’s Doll Parts?
the funniest thing about disliking something other people like is that in the inverse situation you can say "cool your jets. someday you might enjoy [this food, this music, this movie]" but with food you can't really say "sit tight. someday you will hate this food like I do"
