J’ai pris cette photo juste à côté du Parc Monceau. (C’est pour un nouveau livre.) Elle est inspirante car elle me rappelle que l’on doit garder notre soif de lire, d’appendre, tout au long de notre vie.
1/ When you’re younger, you don’t know better.
When you’re older, you know better (presumably). And it follows that you give less fucks and are therefore more free.
But the jig is...the older most people get, the more conservative — less free — they become.
There’s an assumption that being the *first to do something is the same as being the *best to do it.
Don’t conflate these two things.
Acknowledging the *first is cool. Trailblazers merit respect.
And while the first to do something is sometimes the best, often they’re not.
Take more writing breaks.🔊
One 5-minute break after three 30-minute rounds of writing is more productive than one 15-minute break after 1 hour of writing.
The breaks in between help you see the “page” more clearly.
More importantly, they help guard against writing fatigue.
Tomorrow, @SuperchampBooks will publish Dating & Sex: The Theory of Mutual Self-Destruction. One of our most ambitious titles yet.
@amiralisaid and I would like to thank all of the writers who contributed to Vol. 1 of this incredible anthology.

@SoniaSulaiman@WritersofColor@amirsaid Best thing to do is this. If you have an interesting story that you believe in, and you think it *might fit, pitch it.
Sometimes, too many pre-questions can limit your chances.
The submissions guidelines are deliberately wide for this very purpose.
Let your pitch fly!
@SoniaSulaiman@WritersofColor@amirsaid This anthology is about *Dating & *Sexual relationships — and how we either fall to self-destruction or avoid it.
This includes any *dating or *sexual relationship. Friendships often run parallel to these relationships. But this is not a book about *platonic relationships.
@salvysnr @WritersofColor@amirsaid Yes, please include author bio in the body of your email.
Re: “written something like a guide” NO! No guides, no lists, no advice-style column, etc.

When a writer sends me their piece with a detailed description in the email and a Word doc, upfront without me having to ask, oh, it’s on!
Me when writers send me there pieces as Word docs (vs. writers who send me their pieces as Google docs)
