“Learn to live on air… Avoid all messy and needy people including family; they threaten your work… Once you’ve truly begun, slow down. The difference between publishing two good books and forty mediocre books is terribly large.”
— Sarah Manguso’s advice to young writers on how to have a career, in Work in Progress (via fsgbooks)
“Just because you didn’t speak the facts out loud didn’t erase their existence. Silence was just a quieter way to lie.”
—The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult (via creatingaquietmind)
“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly — they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”
—Aldous Huxley (Brave New World)
The Perks of Being Small-Chested
Lots of you have been asking about a comic from the other side of the spectrum; being smaller chested! Planatree (Abigail Brandt) mentioned wanting to make a comic along those lines a few months back and it’s up! Her comic, The Perks of Being Small-Chested, is already a few comics in and it’s great! It’s obviously awesome for smaller-chested folks but it’s also a refreshing perspective for us larger-chested folks!! Seriously, go check it out ^.^
