These are the dreams of artists. To whisk away, explore the world, experience life, and create.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

to you, it’s a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it’s a fire line that’ll haunt them for the next 17 years.

you don’t know how impactful your writing is because it’s been in your brain for far too long now. you’ve stared at it for hours and repeated “this sucks” over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.

but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone’s gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go “jesus fucking christ” and put the book down to have an existential crisis.

Just letting everyone know that I'm now offering $ in proportion to the amount that you contribute to the blog.

This money comes from only the donations that my blogs receive.

This blog doesn't get a ton of money, so if you contribute a few things, you might get a dollar or two, but the top contributors are receiving between $10-60 a month.

If you don't want the money, you don't have to take it. Just want to give back to everyone who helps me run this blog, and I still get a decent share of it too, based on how much I personally contribute.

I couldn't run this blog as active as it is without help, so that's why I'm giving back.

I feel crippling embarrassment at the thought of sending an ask, but I'm out here booping every goddamm blog I find without hesitation
