Handed in a full draft of my book and it's got me thinking about the process of taking things from bad to good. Plus recs for Rob Stephenson's NYC, Ryan Goodcase's timing, and Elle Griffin's books.
Thanks for the second and third slices of pizza! Like you say, I have no recollection of the first, except maybe the last bite. Handfuls of berries are the same way. Gotta remember the stages haha.
Hm. As an Italian, I don't get it. The perfect amount of pizza is a whole pizza with a wild slice exchanged with someone else, just to break up the flavour. Why three slices? Imagine living 'second slice style' but it's the whole plate.
thank you for sharing this wonderful advice from your friend:
“A bad script is worth a lot more than a great idea. Because you can fix a bad script, but no one can do anything with a great idea until you write it.”
it's like "the perfect is the enemy of the good," plus my addition to it: "the bad is the FRIEND of the good!" (or if you prefer, "the not-good-enough-now is the friend of the better-later!")
and CONGRATS ON TURNING IN THE FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR BOOK!

PS thanks for the reminder about jacqueline novak's perfect pizza joke! i only wish there were three of those pizza jokes!
“You’re a hell of a salesman!”
That's my favorite part haha

Wow. Barbs, I can't believe you're the first person to catch this glaring typo. It should not be three pizza slices. It should be three pizzas
Extremely important point!!
