Content creators: studios are going to start reaching out to fill the gaps of WGA/SAG members on strike, and if you have aspirations of being in traditional entertainment- don’t take the offers. Standing in solidarity w the unions ensures your own protection in the future.
Me (while writing): This is garbage. I'm such a horrible writer. All communication tools should be swiftly and permanently taken away from me and I should be deposited directly into a trashcan.
Me (rereading what I wrote): Bloody brilliant.

That feeling when your characters take over and the book feels like it's writing itself, is there any better writerly feeling? It's like flying and being in love at the same time.
