This platform might be dying, but I’m still crying… and writing about it. Thank you @saraeckel for publishing my essay on It’s Not Us.

If you’re based in london - this is going to be amazing!!! @eseapn has been bringing together east and southeast Asian writers and here they are doing it again, alongside @Foyles. I’m jealous and wish I could go!!!

Breaking into design is hard.

I applied to 100+ jobs in 2020. Got rejected from all.

3 months later, I was in the final rounds at @Meta, @WishShopping and Gotrade (YC S19).

The result?

An offer from Gotrade as Design Lead with 80% raise.

Here's 9 ways I used to make it 🧵:

If you have the privilege to meet with agents or editors before you decide who to work with, one of the most important questions to ask is what books they think your work is in conversation with - something wise @ginathechung taught me (she teaches me everything fwiw). THREAD

Writing for the audience of one. Myself. How relieving!

[P.S. Literary Agency @PSLiterary]

"My advice to 'up and coming writers' is, don’t write at first for anyone but yourself. It doesn’t matter how many or how few universities one goes to, what matters is what one learns, either at universities or by oneself." - T.S. Eliot #writingcommunity #writing

A new essay by @kherying: "I clammed up in social situations where only native German speakers were present. 'Ying is so quiet,' my mother-in-law once remarked. Whenever I told good friends about this, they’d laugh: 'You, quiet? Never!'" https://t.co/e1KyxQYxAp
