How I was taught to argue:
1) Logic
2) Citing Sources
3) Mutual Respect for opponent
4) Control Emotions
5) Finding Truth is More Important Than Winning the Argument.
How it's done now:
1) Accuse
2) Demonize Opponent
3) Call Names and Run Away
4) Slander Opponent To Everyone
6 Year Old:
Why you still learning to draw better? You're old.
Me:
Learning is good at any age. Plus, I made a friend twice my age. His name is Sora. He only speaks Japanese. Instead of emailing words, we exchange art.
6 Year Old:
That's neat! Too lazy to learn Japanese, huh?
I'VE SAID IT TWICE BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN:
Do NOT try to follow the market or write what's popular now. You'll be 2 years too late.
Don't follow trends.
BE. A. TREND.
Write what makes you passionate.
WRITE THAT.
You got this!

Don’t have enough writing time? I have ADVICE:
1) put laptop under pillow so it absorbs your words while you sleep
2) or don’t sleep, ya weak little onion
3) carve out sacred writing time. eat those who interrupt
4) start crying until your book gets sick of you and writes itself
My son was beating me at a game and trash-talked me by saying “Your powers are weak, old man,” in a Darth Vader voice. So I told him “If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” When he won I forced him to go to his room and Jabba laughed.
