"I drove seven hours
through rain. Ferrum pulsing
like a sore tooth,
to see if the house stood still
and it did but wrong now, wrong
painted green, not white,
a color like forgetting my father’s voice."

The standard writing advice is to write first without revising as you go. On the whole, I agree with that — in that combatting perfectionism is the only way to get writing done. One thing I don't see discussed enough is that editing as you go is a completely valid (sometimes needed) aspect of craft.

Would love to go like a week without one beloved author turning out to be a horrific sex criminal.
wow, that Vanity Fair piece on a 47-year-old Cormac McCarthy grooming a traumatized 16-year-old girl for sex is *real bad.*. And I mean, both in what it describes and in how it tries to turn the whole thing into some great romantic love affair
