1. AMAs are fun.

    This is me with a reddit AMA that I give a shit about:

    And I get gems like this:

  2. These were my favorite answers from the Reddit AMA that Eric Kaplan - writer on The Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Futurama, etc - just finished doing. 

    Kill your babies everyone.

    Keep writing.

    Get out there and make things.

  4. Writing prompts at a bar? Yes. Yes please! #writing #LitCrawlBK

     

  5. An afternoon of #writing and beers before @thrillingadv tonight! See? I can be productive!

     


  6. A few years on, now, and I really can write nearly anywhere, so long as it’s not home. (Look: I can write at home, it’s just VERY distracting. More often than not, when I write at home I end up plotting and rereading and making notes — all of which is not to be underestimated.) However, my favorite place to write is, I’m nearly embarrassed to say, Starbucks.
     


  7. Adjectives, especially, are words that have given up. They are in sweatpants all day. They are on the couch smoking pot while the nouns and verbs go to work.

  10. digg:

    “Dear Malcolm, You’ve all delayed once ore, not sending my work for the summer on the mountain—I’ve started an epic novel of 1000 pages THE BEAT GENERATION—If you don’t send me a contract with an advance (or some kind of option) by October first, on ON THE ROAD, I am going to withdraw the manuscript from Viking and sell it elsewhere. Than have it demeaned I’d rather it were never published. Period. Jack Kerouac.”

    This is the handwritten ultimatum Jack Kerouac sent to the publisher of On The Road.

     

     


  11. Writing for me, even what you call serious writing, is play.

  14. What should I write about for HelloGiggles this weekend, guys?

     


  15. If you are destined to become a writer, you can’t help it. If you can help it, you aren’t destined to become a writer. The frustrations and disappointments, not even to mention the unspeakable loneliness, are too unbearable for anyone who doesn’t have a deep sense of being unable to avoid writing.
