CHARITY/SELF-PROMOTION ALERT! Help a great cause and snag some great reads. A pair of independently published genre anthologies are being released with their proceeds going to Future for Ferals. I humbly contributed an observational piece to the second book MORE FUTURE FOR FERALS.

When I worked on #TheOffice, my best friend on the show was also an aspiring writer. He was talented, well-liked, worked hard, but his writing career didn’t pan out.
Years later, his biggest regret was “not being more ENTITLED.” I knew just what he meant.
A 🧵 on good/bad entitlement.
