@Pinguicha Glad I pursued a more concrete career before choosing to write (in my evenings, lunchbreaks, mornings, and plane flights).
Being a good writer is no guarantee of being able to feed yourself with your writing—and I’m not even talking about myself.
@chrishendrick In college, we had the “virtually error free standard”. Summary: four mistakes of any kind, and you failed an assignment completely. I would regularly turn in unproofed work without errors. Now...I edit my books and still find typos after publication.
@laurenspieller My favorite: “I only talk when you want to talk. You know what I hate? People who talk when I don’t want to talk. Some drivers are rude like that, not me. So where are you from? Where are you going? Why? Do you have kids...”
@laurenspieller Serious question: I can try on ten pairs of shoes the same size, and have only one of them fit. Do you buy shoes online often? Do you have the same problem?!
