Yes.

Re-shared from my Twitter feed, because the link is that valuable and that awesome. Originally shown to me by Laura Houser, and printed in the digital pages of Salon: the truth about journalism.

Tennis's advice could apply to any writer, though, and it's exactly what I needed to hear: that he's right, and that the world is kicking our asses because we need to be toughened up before we're really ready to do this job. So I'll have to say, fuck the small stuff; and also carefully consider his advice about being drunk.

Cary Tennis. A name to remember and follow a bit. For you, especially. Because he is doing what you should be doing - writing truth. And not as brilliantly as you can and often do. Yes. Fuck the little stuff. And keep writing. Never, EVER, stop.
