sometimes my oldest kid and I struggle to find topics in common, but this morning he turned to me and said "Louis Vuitton is some bullshit," and I said "yep," so I think we're good for a while.

If this was true I wouldn't have a career. Every step of the way other authors offered guidance and advice, with generosity and kindness. But I would add a caveat. If you spend a lot of time being a dick to other people, the amount of guidance and advice you get will be....less.

Seeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.

I can vouch for Archita, who recently lost her father to cancer & is the sole caregiver for her mother who's also suffering from cancer & needs extensive and very costly treatment. She's all alone and struggling to bear the costs. Please share widely & donate if you can:
