When someone presents their boobs to be signed, we'll know we've arrived.
You know, I've never previously thought that my worth as a writer might be judged by how many women fans ask me to sign their boobs. Have I missed something?When someone presents their boobs to be signed, we'll know we've arrived.
You can sign mine, but I'm down to an A-cup since I quit drinking.When someone presents their boobs to be signed, we'll know we've arrived.

So... a friend, relative, fan, stranger, asks you, 'so is your writing any good?' What do you say?
My mom was an author before me, and one of the many pieces of advice she gave me was to work widely, to gain experience that can be then taken to enrich the writing. In our house we say, "All for the writing." And as a result, I've worked over 30 jobs in my life. I've never been a bus boy, but I've been a terrible waitress, I've sold cars, I've been a staffing recruiter, I've worked with strippers (one of my favs), I've worked the camera on a morning news cast. At none of these jobs did the rate of pay have an impact on how well I wrote. I wrote damn well whether I was a staffing executive or if I sold popcorn. So, no, being a busboy has nothing to do with your skill as an artist, but it does have everything to do with the skills and experiences you take into your artistic life."I'm earning minimum wage as the bus boy in this restaurant. What do you think?"
For a long time, I thought it was the first part, but it's definitely the second.Ask Malik if jumping out of perfectly good airplanes makes him a better writer, or does it make him a more experienced human being who then takes that experience into his creative arsenal.
Agreed. I was in a nordic infantry regiment, which means you spend all your time in the forest or up in the mountains, either on foot or on skis. Whilst I learnt a lot about people doing that, it was all the various peacekeeping and peace enforcement missions I served on which gave me most of the experiences I use in my writing.For a long time, I thought it was the first part, but it's definitely the second.
writing is as good as it could be in its unfinished state

You write beautifully. There are passages in Eve of Snows that I would stop and reread.Side note: Now I have readers telling me I write better than X, so at least a handful of people agree with me, LMAO.
