You know what is so satisfying about reading a newspaper? There isn’t a “comments” section below the article to ruin it. — Jeff DeCoursey (@jeffdecoursey) January 25, 2013
Some days I write because I love the process. Some days I write despite the process because the story wants to be.

the only real writing advice is a weary shrug and “fuck if i know, give it a shot” — thats enough, robert (@robertjbennett) January 31, 2013
I know it’s probably shocking given how much unsolicited advice I give, but there is SO much unsolicited advice I hold back, it kills me.

I hate when shows say they contain “adult situations” but no one is shown cleaning the house, going to work or paying their bills online.

We got a cab. The driver asked us where we wanted to go. I said “to Matt Damon.” *silence*

Can we just talk about the word “queue” for a second? Like, how many of those letters are actually necessary? I count one.

“Adult situations” — that always made me laugh, from when I first figured out what it meant.
I had a boss once who insisted on spelling queue “que,” and it was difficult to mount a really solid argument about why that was wrong.
Lol the dictionary wasn’t a good enough argument for him?
I LOVE the ones from Shannon and Jeff. Those comment sections are infuriating and often leave me feeling so sad about the state of humanity (thankfully, on the flip side, they’re also amazing at times!).
Agreed. Humanity can be such a double-edged sword.
