Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Good morning, writers! Once again, I discovered that the words will come, and new pieces of the story will emerge, if I sit with pen and cheap notebook early in the morning. Even on days when I'm sure that l'm all out of words and story. ✍️

Good morning, writers! I’m late to #5amwritersclub but I’m here. Now back to the draft—today’s a notebook and pen day. Here’s this morning’s sunrise.

If you take it literally, “Last Christmas” by Wham! is a song about organ donation from the POV of a ghost.

Movies have led me to believe that at some point in life...

My car brakes will be cut

I'll need to army crawl through an air duct

Someone will wrongfully commit me to a mental institution

I'll accidentally step into quicksand

Water will spill on my Mogwai
