THINGS WRITERS NEED TO HEAR

you are allowed to take a break. you don’t have to write if you don’t feel like it.

everyone has their own pace. it doesn’t matter if you write one page or ten pages a day, you are still a writer.

your first draft is going to suck. every first draft or every book has sucked. i’ll get better and better as you edit. that’s what editing is for, making your work actually good.

experiment. try out new routines, new styles, new genres. it’ll never harm you. you’ll gain experience and become a better writer. you’ll understand what suits you and what doesn’t.

you don’t need publishing to be a writer. publishing is just an option but if you don’t want to you can just keep your writing to yourself.

if you write, then you’re a writer. no matter how much experience you have, what genre you write, if you are published or not. you are a writer.

everyone is different. everyone has a different style so find your own and rock it. search for inspiration but ultimately focus on what allows you to express your ideas in the best way possible.

you are doing great. no matter how productive you are, how much you’ve written, how fast you write. you are gonna achieve your goal and it’s gonna feel so good.

“To lay garlands at your feet because you stand dark in the light, or lucent in the dark air of the mind’s world solitary in your empire of magic, undiminished”

— Denise Levertov, excerpt of “Homage”, in Collected Earlier Poems 1940-1960

“It was not my intent to clean a shelf that was not going to be refilled. That’s not who I am.” But that’s exactly who he is. He regrets it now because of the repercussions but this man really was trying to capitalize on people’s health concerns. He really tried to, and did, make it harder for people to get essential hygiene products during a national emergency. This man put people in danger to make a quick buck. This was evil. They really shouldn’t have brought his wife and kids into it but him? Fuck him.

Saying he donated the hoard is a complete misrepresentation. First of all, what Matt Colvin had done and was doing was illegal. The KY AG opened an investigation for illegal price gouging.

Matt wouldn’t answer the AG”s calls, so the AG located the storage unit where he had been keeping it all. It was at this point that the AG ‘facilitated the donation’.

It is very clear that Matt Colvin was not intending to cooperate with the AG until he had no other choice (and likely faced arrest).

Everyone: Price gouging limited supplies during a state of emergency is illegal. That includes individuals and businesses. If someone is charging 10x the normal cost of hand sanitizer, soap, toilet paper, anything that’s currently hard to find: you can report that to your state attorney general’s offices.

“And HECTOR died like everyone else […] a spear found out the little patch of white Between his collarbone and his throat Just exactly where a man’s soul sits Waiting for the mouth to open”
