You "finish" writing a book like 37 times before it is actually done, and each round is absolute hell
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · yesterdayWriting a book is so weird because before it’s released there are half a dozen REALLY IMPORTANT DEADLINES for drafts & edits and each completely consumes you & is impossible to explain. “I just spent 72 hours locked in a room doing my copy edit review; I forgot what the sky looks like” “…congrats?”
One nice thing about my new day job is everyone keeps assuming I'm 19
Must finish this novel because I don’t have what it takes to be an insta badddie.

I don't like spending money on myself but when I do I buy 17 books (12 were from a used bookstore). And yes, that's my Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, and Richard Laymon collection on the little white bookshelf in the background
JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.
Why are the House of #Svengoolie hosts being so critical of SWAMP THING (1982) 😭? It's not that bad!
