One of my favorite parts of Stephen King's Cell is when the main character, Clay, walks into his new friend Tom's house for the first time and he's like "hmm it smells gay in here"

A Note on Word Count
—————————————
Raise your hand if you get down on yourself about your word count. 🙋🏻‍♀️
And, it comes with a heaping side of imposter syndrome, right?
I made this list of famous authors and their daily word count to make us all feel better! 💫
———————————————————
100s
James Joyce 90
Tom Wolfe 100-135
Thomas Clayton Wolfe 145
500
Ernest Hemingway 500
Graham Greene 500
Arthur Hailey 500
Carol shields 500
——————————————————-
To put it into perspective, 500 words per day for 60-100 days equates to a 30,000-60,000 word novel. Sometimes even that seems daunting due to work and family but it’s something to strive for. AND first drafts are always shit anyway so just get the words on the page. 💪

Writer tea is so funny because it like varies in a spectrum from Neil Gaiman marrying Amanda Palmer to JK Rowling writing that Pottermore pro-slavery essay to Joyce Carol Oates thinking Halloween decorations are offensive to dead people to Delia Owens literelly murdering a man in Zambia

Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
— - Mary Oliver
