Haha, brilliant!
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Back from the awards ceremony for the PNWA Literary Contest. I took second place in my category!
The winner and I happened to be sitting together, and we hit it off and will probably do some beta reading for each other. I also made some good contacts at the after party for the winners.
I don't think I've stopped smiling yet.

Jesse - if there is an affiliate account, I think a page and/ or mini store is possible. Either on amazon or on another page.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The torn challenge is now closed.
The new challenge is play.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've been trying to explain the difference between a skilled writer and a talented writer (of course, one hopes you have a bit of both, but without talent, you're fuck out of luck).
I've been dealing with someone who thinks it's all very easy. Think of a marketable idea, and write it all down. That's all.
If only.
I'm so frustrated. I can't seem to find a way to explain it in metaphor. I've tried architect/carpenter, physicist/engineer.
He just seems to discount talent as something non-existent. Everything is skill, and anyone can learn a skill. Ergo, anyone can be a great writer. Not just a good writer, but a great one.
Am I explaining this well? I feel like I'm incoherent.
