Writers are lucky. Not special.

It’s always fun to act self-important, grandiose, battle tested and imposed upon, but Ray Bradbury was right.

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it. Ignore the authors who say ‘Oh, my God, what word? Oh, Jesus Christ…’, you know. Now, to hell with that. It’s not work. If it’s work, stop and do something else.
