Might not make much sense to some because everything is bleak as fuck, but I encourage you to keep doing what you love and dream bigger than ever.

Dear artists:

Afraid of death? It’s coming anyway. Afraid of failure? We all fail. A lot. Sometimes spectacularly. Afraid of these fascists? There are more of us cheering you on. Don’t stop creating. Not now. Make art. Piss them off. Create. With anger. With hope. Keep going.

Next time someone asks, “What kind of asshole creates problems where there aren’t any and then calls it a win when the whole thing backfires and he backtracks?” you know exactly what to tell them.

If you sit down to write and for some reason still think that your work shouldn’t be “too gay” or “too political” or “too much about race” or whatever else, remember that motherfuckers are out here throwing up Nazi salutes. The time to go harder than ever is now.

Don’t forget to rename that draft from “[Novel Title] - 2024” to “[Novel Title] - 2025” today.

Oof, I needed to hear this. Again. 😩
You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

Hell yeah 🤘🖤🐺
Rage, a savage hunger for the blood of the wicked, and a talent to change shape at will, thats what little girls are made of.

100% This has happened to me on multiple occasions. It means so much. 🤘🖤🐺
One short message from a reader is all it takes to turn a bad day around. Want to drop an author a line? Please do so. Trust me, it means the world to us.
