"Writers," I said, and, I think, said rightly, "love money, they adore money! Successful writers, I mean. The ones who have become venerable - the ones who have made great names by writing about the irony of life and the incapabilities of wealth, the writers of the people for the people. They worship money, they hoard money. One and all despise rich people, and are perfectly beastly about the upper-classes. You should ask any publisher about the business capacity of any great author who writes about the Irony of Life."

Journeying from Writer to Publisher

Here’s the cover of the first book in The Ozark Grannies’ Secret Series. Lately, I have been establishing my business Ozark Grannies’ Secrets, and have been at the same time working with Kerry Kelley with the first book in our Ozark Grannies’ Secrets series called Gourmet Weeds which is about the native and naturalized plants that you may find in your backyard that you didn’t plant. Starting a…

Does Seven know they are demisexual? They know they like sex to have feelings but they've already clicked that they're demi like "Oooh, so that's it"?

I don’t think it occurred to them yet. They mention their experience briefly in their first date POV and they chalk it up to "meh this is how it usually is"

they've just been too in their head about MC and literally everything else in their life and career that they haven't had time for self discovery lmao

I think it'd be easier for Sev to realize if ur playing a route in which MC and Sev were intimate because they can compare it to the rest of their sex life as opposed to playing a route in which they were just best friends 🤔 mc is the only person they've had a connection with

The thing nobody warns you about when you decide to start a crowdfunded publishing side-gig is that you'll find yourself hoarding the dumbest fucking boxes because what if you end up needing to ship something that just happens to be that exact size and shape? Packaging is expensive! That's where most crowdfunded projects with physical rewards screw themselves, after all – working out their shipping costs and failing to budget for the cost of a box to put it in. Every box you throw away just might have been the one that keeps you under budget, and by God, you can't take that chance!

After David tells him that his ex has arrived for Career Day and it’s not even the Wheeler that he asked for, Steve marches over to Mike like, “What are you doing here?”

Wow, David thinks to himself. He’s been told that Steve has some problems with his memory - apparently he compensated for it with a truly insane online calendar - but he didn’t expect him to forget about a whole human being. Just, wow.

Steve loudly tells Mike that he’s never had a real job and Mike scoffs at him and tells him that he wrote for a comic book website for three years. Journalism is just writing with a fancy degree. Will and Mike created a comic book together so, “I’m published.”

“Robin is published,” Steve stresses (Steve’s best friend, David knows that one). “If that was the only qualification I wanted than I would’ve asked Robin to come.”

They start squabbling again in whispered voices so David turns to Dustin and tries to alleviate some of the awkwardness with, “Steve, uh, really has a type, huh?”

Dustin squints at him, “Did you just meet him? Today?”

I’m going insane rn

Doing one of my never-ending rereads and... even when Neil hated Andrew and fully believed all the worst rumors, he still expected someone to be in Andrew’s corner... and then in book three we see him decide to be that person:

something about the way Neil, a perfect stranger to the concepts of friendship and teamwork, still expected better from Andrew’s team and family... I know that’s the entire core of their relationship but it still knocks a hole in my chest to see it laid out so baldly
