This generation of writers.
Why is it? that whole colleges are popping up to educate writers, there are more conferences, workshops, books on craft, resources and awareness for writers now than ever before. And yet, we bitch about how hard it is to write, how difficult it is to juggle our jobs, our family, our writing time, our social lives… “I just don’t have the time to write the next ‘great American novel.” Well, fuck you. Do you think Hemingway, and Steinbeck, and Fitzgerald, had an MFA program? The convenience of student loans/federal aid, supportive families, peers and advisors to look over their work? Online social networks to expose their writing? Categorized lists of publishers, dates, addresses, genres, and guidelines for submission? They had World Wars, The Great Depression, type-writers, post-mail, wall-mounted telephones.
Sit down and write your book.
