It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

I don’t want to be dramatic or anything but this is the best goddamn hangover taco I’ve ever put in my mouth

A masochistic editing tip I like to give young writers is to imagine your work being read by the smartest person you know who does not like you.

A while back, I read that when you pick up a book, you're holding something in your hands that was once someone's dream, and now I think about that every day.

Spice things up on Valentine's Day with some role-playing! Maybe the role of someone your lover hasn't seen in the same sweatpants every day for 11 months.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but writing is a lifetime, not one book, or essay, or review. It's almost a relief: you will always have it, even if you think you don't. It'll be there. You can fold it up in your pocket and take it with you, forever, I swear
