revising the trivial dawn stories and realizing this shit is literally just about autism #writewhatyouknow
Not me writing the most tragic events in my story. Totally not inspired by actual events in my life. #youknowwhattheysay #writewhatyouknow

my screenplay for HALLOWEEN ON FRIDAY THE 13TH is being called "scary" & "fanciful" & "not aware of how calendars work" & "a lawsuit waiting to happen". #WriteWhatYouKnow
I've found nary a hardship

OK, I *am* actually writing. This new, potentially last pre-pornopocalypse book of short stories is at 170 hardcopy pages, which feels pretty substantial. One more story and I'll call it a day. Time to write about fun at a sex club... when I have never, ever been to one. #writewhatyouknow

tAyLoR only writes about her exes, she has no original ideas! Sheβs just not creative!

Having been propped up as an intellectually serious character his whole career, Ross understands the process. #writewhatyouknow
That describes the character arc of my second book all too well.
Fear. Am I really doing this again?

Push a boulder up
watch the tide roll in
what's new to learn
of original sin?
it's the history to look back
not the doubt that crept in
