I guess shortcuts come with strings attached. You might sell your soul to the devil without realizing it and miss out on all the trying and failing, clawing yourself out of the mud that’s supposed to make you who you are.
Pay close attention to the people who don’t clap when you win.

This. So many times this.
Watch: If robberies were treated like rape, this is how absurd it would sound
This is why so many victims don’t report their assaults.
I’m new to you on Twitter! Tell me , what kind of books do you write? I’m writing a book about young adult , and I hope to like your books too. 🙂
Hi! Where are you from (other than Twitter, I mean)?
Right now my focus is on contemporary romance, but I dabble in a little young adult here and there. I hope to like your books, too. 🙂
All this talk about the Clean Reader app reminds me of a copy of Timeline I found in the damaged bin at the used book store back in 2003.
I had this book at home–it’s one of my all-time favorites–but I was curious about this particular copy. It was in near perfect condition. Even the dust jacket, which I barfed on years ago and had to throw out, looked brand new. Not the kind of book you’d expect to find in the damaged bin.
Things started to make sense when I opened to the title page.
Spy code? Poorly encrypted Swiss bank account number?
Nope. Just a list of all the pages containing the fuck word.
Fuck words which someone took upon themselves to white out and strikethrough.
You know, just in case.
Lest you think this person a prude, s/he apparently did not take issue with the word asshole.
Or I guess more accurately s/he only takes issue with fucking ones?
Regardless, this book has become one of my favorite books, probably because it reminds me so much of the time my grandmother confiscated a romance novel I was reading because it had the word nipple in it, and how grateful I am she never thought to buy a bottle of Wite-Out.
I need a giant print of this in my office.
And bedroom.
And living room.
And a magnetic cling for my car.
