I'll also send one of these and a print entirely for free to one person who reposts this.
I know people love this book and I will not let it be lost.
I will not let my ex-publishers, who ran off with £20,000+ of my combined earnings from it and six other books, win.
Many thanks for any shares.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist
