Things are still hard. The world is still insane. But none of that will matter soon because my son is going to be an international soccer star and buy us a new life.

I thought a parent was a guide on a journey. Youโ€™re more a bodyguard on safari. Kids go where they want and you keep them alive until they say they donโ€™t need you. Then you stay quiet as they make mistake after mistake, and still come out in their corner when the tigers show up.

I don't usually do this #writingcommunity but a big account is targetting/bullying female writers on twitter. Standard routine = play dumb/insult target, play victim (often removing initial post), blames the target/female writers. Please consider blocking/muting: JosephJMiccolis

If someone chooses to: -query agents - good luck to them -submit to small presses - good luck to them -self publish - good luck to them -a mixture of all - good luck to them -write only for the fun - good luck to them Just wish them luck. It's not hard. Writer snobbery sucks.

Not everyone will like your story Not everyone will like your style Not everyone will like your voice Not everyone will like your book Thats great. For if we wrote to appease everyone, we would find that we have appeased no one. Write your story. Do it well. Be proud.

I follow a lot of writers. There are amazing people on here. However, if I discover you're a bigot, I will block you. It doesn't matter if we have writing in common if our core values are that far apart. Have opinions and beliefs, but I won't tolerate hate for others on my feed.
