“Perhaps I’ve moved from one phase of amateurism to another. In one, the passion is the purpose of a life. In the other, the passion brings purpose, but it is not the center of it.”

May we all become this good at what we do @CameronInACarr @Longreads

@raquefella @Longreads Means a lot, thank you, Raquel!

[Cameron Carr @CameronInACarr]

Been quietly working on this book about what it means to me to be an amateur, to fail, to love, to make art, and to try and find some meaning in all of that. My first essay from it is out now. Thank you to @Longreads for your care with this piece!

@AbrahamNussbaum A true classic. But it did take me ages to understand why I should listen to Rocket to Russia or the self-titled too

@leah_mensch I heard Kate Braverman will haunt anyone who doesn’t read the essay

"I do still have dreams some nights after spending time with a guitar in my hands, but I don’t see my future revolving around music anymore. Perhaps I’ve moved from one phase of amateurism to another."

Woo woo! So excited to see my story in this issue today! It’s a story about conspiracy theories, gossiping, grief, but also about sweets and laughing. Thank you to @hazmatcat and the fiction team for the close attention to my words! It was wonderful working with you all! ⭐️

Anyone else feel both depressed and ambitious in a hotel?
I wrote about DeLillo, Murakami, Lessing, and why hotels are a good place for existential collapse.

[The Hedgehog Review @hedgehogreview]

“When I imagine a hotel room, an untouched illusion of goodness is what I think of—at least half the time, when I manage to avoid thinking of the many bodies here before.” https://t.co/S8qqn0tH8F

[Danielle Harms @danielleharms]

This essay by @jullunde "Application to be a River" is so inventive and imaginative that I kept reading just to see what she would do with language next. Proud we published it in @creamcityreview

Have Project Muse access? You can probably read it online: https://t.co/8V1zj2f5yi

Sadly none of this is surprising except that Aerosmith somehow looks good for gender equality

[The Pudding @puddingviz]

New Project! @cdallarivamusic analyzes the remarkable trend that most hit songs are written by all men. How often has a top 5 hit been written by *only* women in the last 10 years? It’s likely rarer than you think.
