Hot take incoming: I am seeing increasingly more agented authors getting deals based on pitches with small presses. I'm excited for them and at the same time, sad for all of those friends with no agent and equally fantastic books who cannot sell them. 1/?

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.
