As travel writers, our community is better when we help one another. That might be with contacts or encouragement, but this time Dan needs the cash you can spare. He's got a brain tumour and needs non-NHS treatment to help his recovery. Can you help? gofundme.com/f/dan-fahey

While no boss is a good boss it's pretty wild that the chief of the fire brigade has now resigned over Grenfell while the man who in 2013 cut £29m off the service's budget, cutting 10 stations and 27 firetrucks, is front-runner for Prime Minister. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019…

Some of y'all need a reminder, so here you go: Listen, you're awesome. Fuck whatever's bringing you down right now. Stay focused. Do the thing. Hustle. Your ancestors dreamed you, so act like every step you take is a line in a fucking epic poem. Deal? Now go conquer the week.

“Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself...It's a self-exploratory operation that is endless, an exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent.” ― Harper Lee #WritingCommunity #Writing #SelfExploratory

Victories feel great, but it's the daily hustle that shapes you, the daily battles that give you the strength and experience required to collect victories. Don't let the fights get you down. Tattoo the lessons on your soul, spit blood, and keep going, you glorious fucker.

Writing is a really great career if you want to spend a lot of time staring into the black void of your soul wondering what on earth the point of it all is while drinking coffee.

Marlon James was rejected 78 times for his debut novel, John Crow’s Devil, before it was published. Seventy. Eight. Rejections. Chew on that. Never talk about giving up.

"Talent needs people to show faith in it." Every point which the excellent Sally Wainwright makes about the intersection of class, gender & writerly confidence is absolutely spot on.

"First drafts aren't meant to be perfect!" the writer tells themselves cheerfully while they secretly hope it'll be solid genius, get them a 6-figure book deal, and they can stop sobbing over where commas go and just take a nap.

Screenwriters create "Show Bibles" for their TV series. They're not an outline, but more like the rules of the story's universe. They're indispensable for episodic shows & ALSO great to keep your novel consistent. I'll drop some example links in the comments. #WritingCommunity
