2. Everyone’s impressed by “Writer” and “Author” as a career descriptor. “What do you do?” “Oh, I’m a Writer.” “Ooh!!!” Little do they know writing is 10% ripping off obscure stuff, 5% dumb luck you can credit as divine intervention, and 85% self-doubt.(less)

Two great adages for aspiring writers:

1. The first draft is ALWAYS shit. No exceptions. Yes, even if it reads good as you write it. No good book in the history of mankind was written without editing. The magic is in the sculpting, not the outline.

2. Write first, ask questions later. Never edit during. Just copy the outline in prose format as fast as you can. If you stop or slow, your progress slows and the work suffers. And you will be able to notice it.(less)

unplugged by David Schulze
"unplugged is one of those stories that makes you pause and look at your own habits. The premise of a movement encouraging people to abandon the internet sounds extreme at first, but as the story unfolds it begins to feel oddly logical. I liked how th" Read more of this review »

"This novella gave me a lot to think about. The idea of a generation trying to disconnect from the internet felt surprisingly believable. Quentin’s decision after his life crisis becomes the spark for something much bigger, and watching the Unplug Mov" Read more of this review »
