[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

It requires delusion. You must truly believe it could be published in the New Yorker as is and will bypass the agent directly into the arms of Simon and Schuster, even though in its current form, the people who love you most couldn't care. Suspend your disbelief. Start writing.

[Melissa D. Sullivan @MelDSullivan]

Such wise words from one so young...

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

Total subjective loss of self in creative writing and realizing that it's pointless is the hardest part but your writing really improves actually after that and the brutal rejections stop mattering and you realize you can do whatever you want

It happened. We had to ask our second grader to explain what a new-to-us slang word meant. I am officially in my dotage, y'all.
