“There are some great writers who are great talkers, but there are more great writers who are not great talkers.” —Fran Lebowitz buff.ly/3uTKL3Z
for all the writers out there, i hope you work with editors that are willing to fight for you. this is one of the most important parts of my job whether i'm going to battle for story placements, freelance rates, or a credit. it's a huge disservice if no one will advocate for you.
usually, writing is fun. if you are finding that writing is not fun, you may be entitled to compensation
fuck it. hot take time writing well is harder than programming well, and it isn't close
only a fool mistakes the simplicity of the tools for the complexity of the craft
Do I know what to write? Yes Am I capable of writing? Yes Do I have time to write? Yes Would my day be 10000% better if I wrote? Yes Am I going to write? No Am I going to have anxiety all day because I'm not published yet and I don't know why? Absolutely

Being a writer means avoiding writing all day while also wondering why your story isn’t finished.
"Writing is the process by which we discover we don’t really know what we are talking about." – Shane Parrish
You should start writing again because it isn't an exclusive club you have to level up to get into. There is nothing prestigious about any of this. The Literary World's most gatekept secret is that it is dying. We are all dying. Let's write unhinged poems about it and live más.
Journalism is just playing phone tag with strangers for days on end.
"omg you're a writer, that must be so romantic" it's literally just me in sweatpants hunching over my laptop and rewriting the same sentence five different ways
A company asked why it was so hard to hire a good writer. I told them it was because good writing is an illusion: what people call good writing is actually good thinking, and of course good thinkers are rare.
Came up with a fine scene for a comic I’m writing. Left the computer. Had coffee. Played a song. After 20 minutes a more interesting version of the scene appeared in my mind. Every part of the process was writing time. The coffee, the music, stepping away. It’s all writing.
Writing well is very much underrated and underdone.
i got a soft spot for women with strong vocabularies. i was on a date and shorty said “ostensibly” boy i almost had a stroke
I see a lot of organizations relying too much on slide decks relative to actual written memos for their internal communications. Presentations are great but prose has a unique value in clarifying thought and creating an unambiguous record.
when my editor asks about the story i haven't even started writing
my writing process is basically to write one long sentence with a thousand commas that is actually a whole paragraph, and then, painstakingly go back and cut it up into less nuanced pieces for general consumption
Being able to write well & succinctly got really, really valuable over the last couple of years.
