I’m an author in remission from cancer, shit-posting to the point of tears for profile views. Substack is where I publish my short stories and essays, and where I’m serious:

My half-assed attempt at marketing.

I had a lot of fun writing this short story.

It’s true so why complain; just accept.

Accept it all.

Stop trying to make family and friends your beta readers, and stop expecting them to read what you published.

That’s like a family member or friend pulling you aside to tell you about their long, intricate dream.

You’d zone out, too.

Another example of why a writer needs to hate their audience just a little bit, and also clown on people who post shit like this on Goodreads.

Sorry his way of coping with combat PTSD by writing this novel was a buzzkill.

AOC removing the pronouns from her Twitter bio is an example of Law 35: Master the Art of Timing at play.

Good for her.

Spotting trends in order to get ahead of them is how any smart politician, like her $ Joseph Fouché , survives.
