Dear LGBTQ+/BIPOC/AAPI/Appalachian/disabled writers: Folks will tell you you're not underrepresented; you're just not getting published because you're not talented enough and need to try harder. Don't waste time arguing. Keep hustling. Let motherfuckers choke on your success.

TRUTHS writers often forget: -You can edit a terrible draft into something amazing -Few people are "naturally" talented at writing -It's okay to not write every day -Writing is a process, you won't write an amazing story in one day -A bad draft doesn't mean you're a failure

Remember that found footage anthology idea? @andrewcull was way ahead of the game and had some fantastic ideas in motion, so we teamed up and we’re making it happen. This is gonna be awesome. Submission call is below. Start writing, folks! Long live horror.
And, here it is, the announcement we've been dying to share with you... I've teamed up with @Gabino_Iglesias to bring you FOUND: An anthology of found footage horror stories. We're now open for submissions. We can't wait to read your stories! 👻🖤

Unsolicited writing advice: Write like it’s vengeance. Edit like it’s murder. Accept that sometimes your words suck. It’s okay. It’s not about being great; it’s about improving. Obsess about everything. Finish the damn thing. Move on to the next one with a new set of neon scars.

Millions of people are more than $5,000 behind on rent. We cannot afford to let another month go by without giving people the direct payments they need to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. washingtonpost.com/business/…
