You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

First time writing an entire from scratch fantasy world. It is so hard. What’s the money system? What’s the transport? These are not things I normally have to question! Fantasy writers how do you do it!?

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

Say what you believe.
In truth I despise the Oxford comma. It is an affront to my journalistic training.
But here we are. I have succumbed to using it.
Are you all pleased?
