I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40.

You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

Breathe.

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

my body’s aching.

beginning of an era.

All I want from life is to read books, pet cats, and see some incredible sights every now and then.

Libraries, providing free information to everyone, are the bedrock of a free society.

And a shoutout to all the librarians out there! Thank you for all you do!!!
