The reason fandom gets unpleasant is that some people let their love of a thing define them. Then criticism of that thing becomes criticism of them. Love things. Enjoy things. But try not to make it your entire identity. It can be a part of you, but it shouldn’t be all of you.

The most depressing part of LITTLE WOMEN (1869) is not when Beth dies but when Jo's short story wins a prize of $100, reminding any fellow writers reading the book that freelance rates have remained roughly stable SINCE THE RECONSTRUCTION ERA

I get where it’s coming from, but it is simply too great a burden for a Flash Gordon homage to carry. Love it, hate it, indifferent to it, Star Wars cannot be all things to all people.

It has always been the case that some things are incompatible with professionalism. Civility isn't a fix. Even if the bigots are "nice," their very presence in the space assaults the marginalized. There's no *nice* way to force people to endure those who would do them harm.

Disney exec: Have a seat Mr. Weinberg. I'm told you have a pitch for us.
— Scott Weinberg (@scottEweinberg) December 26, 2019
Me: Yes. A remake of the original Star Wars trilogy. (intentional silence)
Disney exec: Um... Yeah? That's not... gonna happen.
Me: starring The Muppets
many people are mad at me for observing that because he works Christmas and all of his movements are tracked by the US government, Santa is Muslim

I make about 17 cents on 99 cent ebooks and 34 cents on 1.99 ebooks. Just saying - this is why most authors aren't rich unless they sell huge numbers.

Call me old-fashioned, but I’m of the mind that titles like “thought leader,” “guru,” or “expert,” should be bestowed on you by others. The act of claiming them for yourself undermines the appellation.

When I was a child, I thought the "adult drink" was coffee.

When I became a teenager, I thought the "adult drink" was beer.
As an adult, I've realised the "adult drink" is in fact... water.
I still think about this and laugh, every single day. https://t.co/4owdnOtNiS

Picture yourself going up to a writer you’ve never met before face-to-face at a party and saying, “Hi! I really don’t like your work. I think you’re a terrible writer.”
