the most clear lesson from all of this “write vs go to bar” controversy is that people should start partying at age 15 so theyre bored of it by the time they hit 28 and realize they want to write some novels.

just finished this book last night and it has already changed my life
Yūko Tsushima’s Territory of Light follows a single mother’s struggles to rebuild her life, and the 12 parts of this immensely powerful novel unfold like a dream — or nightmare. It is dark, disturbing, angry, yet with a tenderness and hope that will stay with you for a long time.

Literary magazines are important. They make poetry, fiction and CNF accessible, they create an archive of our time, and more importantly they help expose us to emerging poets and authors.

last night the guy who hosted the reading gave me money for my books and then said 'keep the change, you'll just owe me $3 in sexual favors' . i took the $20 and told him to fuck off, so i guess i'm never getting invited to that reading series again lol.

many people who have published in the new yorker, ploughshares, and the paris review are still nobodies who do not make a full-time living as writers. it is not make or break to be rejected by these magazines.

writers who have gone to therapy, taken meds, or meditated a lot and felt their brain change for the better, have you felt that your creative output or your drive to create was affected? starting to get nervous about this + can’t tell if it’s self sabotage.

writing one good book is better than writing 30 bad ones.
I've had several of these today from the Literati Twaddle Snoot Brigade. It's funny they think listing my books is some kind of dunk. Fuck no. I'm good at this shit! Let's put it this way. I'm the dude who writes books for all the kids who hated being forced to read lame books in.

so excited to say i’m at the creative independent now, working for what i think is one of the best resources for creative people out there 💚! super grateful.
I've been doing TCI solo, but as I oversee more site projects, I realized I needed help. Elle Nash started doing interviews 3+ years ago. She's been copyediting a bit. And now she's at TCI in a more official capacity. Great person/writer. Welcome!🌱 ☀️.

i don’t get why people say writing is isolating or lonely. implies that being alone to write is some kind of negative. being inside that flow gives me so much life.

can someone recommend a good collection of short stories in the horror genre? either anthology or by a single author. this is silly but i literally wouldn't know where to start, the net is too wide. my taste is dark feminine and brutal but not just for shock and awe. please :)!.
