I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

"Pardoning" a turkey is a very weird custom, as it suggests that we eat turkeys because they have committed a grievous wrong and this is the only fitting punishment.

being visited by three spirits to learn the true meaning of Thanksgiving but they're the spirits of Wampanoag people who died of smallpox and it's a straight up horror story
I keep starting and deleting grinchy Thanksgiving posts, because I'm not really trying to kill anyone's vibe, but if you also find this holiday just entirely uninteresting, come sit here by me.

They say nothing good comes from hate, but when I see artists hating on AI, it makes me immediately like them and want to check out their work.

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

My spouse makes money. I stay home with the kids and write books. My number 1 tip for aspiring writers is marry someone with health insurance.

Bea and Ben were out here negging each other in their fucking wedding vows and you want to talk about how Twilight romanticized toxic relationships
No but I do think we need to talk about age-appropriate reading material for children, because I was assigned Much Ado About Nothing in the 4th grade and for at least the next ten years I thought being a huge bitch was the same as flirting

Everyone's got that one homie who's really more of a former enemy turned uneasy ally, but then they foolishly rush in to save you from certain death, sustaining a terrible injury in the process, and while you're scolding them and cleaning their wound your eyes meet, as if for the first time --
