"I do lots of heinously bad writing early in the morning but anyone who’s ever been cornered at a party by that guy with 'an amazing idea for a book' knows: You ain’t got shit until it exists." Awesome stuff (as always) from @saralippmann.bsky.social

"I am not second guessing. Hell, I’m still half asleep, tangled in the thick of dreams, swept up in the muzzy logic of the dreamscape, with nothing but the mystery of intuition to guide me." Love this, @saralippmann.bsky.social lithub.com/stealing-tim...
