so much of writing *for me* is just like: build a house. take it apart. use some of the raw materials to build a new house. rearrange the rooms. retile the whole thing. repaint the whole thing. decide you're too tired to tear it down. chop off a third of the house. live in it.

I used to think the worst anxiety a playwright had was "will I ever have another idea (for a play)?" Now I know it's, "will I be able to wrestle this play to the ground and finish it?"

Writing is re-writing the first three pages 100 times and then the last page is like "pee poo beep beep they sing happy birthday and ride dick-shaped cars into the ocean"

Rejections for things you forgot you applied to are worse because it’s like a stranger walked up to you to randomly say you’re trash.

The shadiest line in a rejection email I've ever seen: "We encourage you to apply for positions for which you qualify"

Writing is... • opening your laptop and then closing it again • typing with one hand because you're also eating a snack • being ferociously in love with your story bUT ALSO terrified you do not have the skills to do it justice

Receiving a rejection for something you didn’t remember you’d submitted is kind of like getting a surprise dental filling. #playwriting

Just came across an unopened pack of Moleskine notebooks I got for Christmas. If I go out in public and write in these, am I an asshole?

Queer eye but five published authors who surprise you by showing up at your door to read your manuscript and each focus on a specific element to critique (I.e. voice, characters, pacing)
