This is just a caring, periodic reminder to all my aspiring/frustrated/undiscovered writer friends: you can do it.
You can get a book published or a screenplay purchased. You really, really can. Even if it's terrible. Even if it's the worst thing you've ever written and the embarrassment prevents even you from reading it. Even if you drop acid beforehand and forget to write a conclusion. Even if you just print out pages from your blog and bind them.
You can.
You can because this woman did.
Fun fact: she published this book with the intention of donating a portion of the proceeds to charity. Then offered it for free on the internet. Of course, I'm sure many will still dish out some cash for the opportunity to capture so rare a gem as this and fund another measure like Prop 8. (Probably.)

Honestly, I have given this idea thought before, and it does kind of give me hope. Although I'd need to actually read Twilight to understand just how much hope it should give me. But I have a general idea, and it's quite heartening.
You can...as long as it has vampires.

godyso!!
I'm too tired to even work that word into my reply, and it's such a good one.
But, dude. I remember you telling me that shortly after you had discovered The Worst Story Ever Told, and it was inspiring then - but then The Lazy took over. It's inspiring now, so all I really need to do is fight The Lazy. (The Lazy is soo strong, though!)
Hey! My blog is WAY better than that shit.
