It makes me sad anytime I think about how long it’s been since anyone has asked what Willis is talkin’ bout.

Had to help my sweet dog Frank across the rainbow bridge this afternoon. He was 13 and suffering from heart failure. Such a sweet boy, he was my special guy. R.I.P. François 💔

I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.

I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."

Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.
