Not everyone gets to be happy in life. That's why God made hobbies

Because pointlessly hyper focusing on one thing for your whole life is fun. Become a writer

You are going to die. Is this not enough motivation to write your book?

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

@ConfusedNarwhal Possibly this spring when I get my act together and finish tbq8 and put it out this year!

@ewenglass To anyone else gawking in the thread, I've got about 1100 left to respond to! Unfortunately, TBQ fell on the back burner for me this year, and I agree it sucks and I suck at this, and I'm really grateful everyone is passionate about the magazine! I do reply personally!

I've been so mentally well the last 2 years off of this website. I forgot how it gives you instant brainworms and then you get stuck scrolling trying to heal from them somehow, but just taking more damage

More math: you have better odds hitting on a $20 scratch off ticket which also transparently lists the odds on the back!

[Maureen Langloss @MaureenLangloss]

Some simple math: If a lit mag charges $20 or more for a single contest submission & receives about 1000 submissions, they're making $20,000 on these fees. If they run several contest a year or simultaneously, it adds up. Even if they generously pay judges & winners, it's a lot.

Point yourself towards the void and approach

I swear this isn't a subtweet or about anybody's friend group and is just a flat neutral blanket statement of every micro trend or discourse or press release. It's just a friend group! I include myself in the nightmare

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

Oh don't worry, that's not a literary scene. It's just a friend group

I once intimidated the New Yorker into interviewing me posting my brain stims like this

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

I'm going to probe, explore, and examine because I am a Literary writer. These depths have layers and I am all up in them
