I was pretty disappointed after this loss. But my coach told me to save this photo because “one day that girl will win a lot of Grand Slams.”

Amazon offered my wife a book they thought she 'might be interested in'
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) September 5, 2022
It was my autobiography
My favorite thing about the book is that it feels like a book. It feels like a real, you know, go to the bookstore novel, book. You know the reason why you go, to read a book from a bookstore.

I just saw a TikTok video where a reader was debating if she should rate a book less because a character had a THOUGHT that offended the reader.

For those of us in the business of writing about the ugly parts of human behavior, this is what we're up against.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
In this vein, I’d like to remind you guys that (per the recent figures from the Penguin/DoJ case) many indie authors are outselling their trad pub counterparts. It’s not a competition, but the idea that indie/self-pub books are somehow ‘lesser’ is just unfounded snobbery ❤️ https://t.co/DsKnduhGYH

whatever you tell creatives will be largely ignored by them. After all, what's the point of being a creator if the art you make must be dictated by the silly whims of others?I don't know if it's goofier to tell writers they can't write characters who aren't identical to them (you're a CIS white dude so better not write that Black lesbian character) or to tell makers of fantasy worlds that no made up creatures can have melanin. What I do know is that https://t.co/GMcuCtch2H
