i have been in a FIGHT with myself lately to write more and continuing to write something that is already shitty is my biggest hang up

This is a real thing!!

Loved this piece. I've also had to break up w my western PA hometown so the Shop N Save reference took me back 😅

Adding to my list! Thanks, Josh!

I love hearing that you enjoyed their workshops. Any kind of accountability group like that always helps me so much but I feel like a lot of writers think they’re too cool for them 😅😅 congrats on making the longlist!

It was a brand of insufferable that I found addictive lol and most people will either love it or hate it, but I say go for it!

You’re savvy and have probably already read it but All Fours by Miranda July sits nicely with this list :)

Are you willing to share examples 👀 I feel like I read a lot of mainstream stuff (albeit literary fiction), and I think I have good taste—so now I’m curious if I’ve just been lucky or blissfully unaware!

I rlly liked My Old Ass and Didi. The Fall Guy was fun in theaters but way too long

Mine was def the New Yorker lol
