I usually just say “I feel like the people who are good at adulting don’t use the term ‘adulting’” and get a “yeah, that sounds about right” in return.

Wait, is that what astroturfing refers to?! That makes so much sense now.

There are only a couple pieces of writing advice I see people consistently agree on:

1. Write something consistently, even when you don’t want to. If you’re a full time writer, that might be at least one page a day. If it’s just a hobby, it could be less. The important thing is to keep what you are writing somewhere in your head to keep the creative juices flowing eventually.

2. Read. Read good books/stories to give you an idea of what to do and what’s been done when writing. Read mediocre or even bad books/stories to give you an idea of what not to do and what’s been overdone in writing.

3. Learn about or experience some stuff to help spark ideas for writing.

Always happy to find something Adam Schlesinger had a part in!

Thanks for putting that “monkey” back in my head for the next week.

They are making a new series. I don’t know how it is going to work, but Yoko Taro (the moon-headed Nier Automata guy) is going to be in charge of it, and he is about the only person I can see pulling it off.

Don’t worry, your neighbor across the street has one!
