oh I love this so much!! Especially not writing for trends or predicting future trends. Feel like I am inspired by morning pages in Julia Cameron’s artists way
What the hell are you doing reading so much about writing- Ah! The inner need and logical thinker needed to hear this. Not everything is first principle thinking 🤔
Frankly, I'm kinda tired of all this success anyway. I mean three out of the six people who read my work rave about it! And two of them are not friends or relatives. People recognize me on the street! Of course, I live on a small island. Thanks for this "right on"piece Shannan.
I am a beginning writer yet currently feel like a total hack, but this keeps me obsessively focused on learning to be a better writer, which I am told is a good thing. I am drawn to writing in a way I have never been before. I will see where it takes me, at least I could say I tried.
I am still trying to figure out if semicolons are a good or bad thing? They sure come in handy but they’re gnarly on the page.
"No matter, try again. Fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett
I love that quote so much!
Your unhinged advice has a certain ring to it.
Haha I hope it's a good ring
It’s liberating like the Liberty Bell!
😂😂💙💙 Thanks Joe!

I really really like you guys--your "unhinged" stuff seems (often) to be exactly what I need to hear. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear it today.
I love the line about- If you keep waiting, you'll keep waiting for a long time. I loved the whole essay, but that line will always stay with me.
