Why I Still Have A Day Job

In short: because I like it — The fact that many writers have day jobs is not new — most aspiring writers do (and many of the successful ones did, too, before they made it big.) So to say I have a job isn’t all that interesting. Where people get hung up is when I clarify: I’m…

Because most of “the signs” they tell you are garbage — If you try to Google “how to know you’re in love,” you’re gonna have a bad time Because it’s mostly shit advice. Here’s a small sampling: “They’re always on your mind” This is infatuation. If someone’s “always” on your mind, you’re not focused on other Really Important Things. And that’s a problem. Real love fits into real life, rather than usurping it. It’s calm, not overwhelming.

8 Things I Learned Reading 50 Books A Year For 7 Years

#1: Reading isn’t a secret to success — I’ve read over 300 books since the beginning of 2011, not counting the many I started but didn’t finish and the endless content we all read online.
