all those people who liked your tweet or retweeted your tweet or commented on your tweet about your new book and how excited they are to buy it and read it will probably, most likely never actually buy it and read it. Twitter is a lie.
alternatively, what’s a hard to swallow pill for writers/authors, in your experience? either about the process or the industry

My favorite part about submitting anything is immediately feeling/knowing that I should edit/revise the thing I’ve just submitted but I’m gonna wait until someone else rejects it just in case, in which case I’m never editing/revising anything ever again.

here’s my unsolicited writing advice:
do whatever you want. what works for some might not work for you. advice for others might not be good advice for you. stop worrying about being successful. art is expressive. so just fucking do whatever you want, and be good with that.
