I fly to LA in 17 days to write the script for Play The Devil. And each day I hammer out the first draft I get angrier at my parents for not letting me go to film school. If u have kids remember - theyre going to become who they are supposed to be with or without you.

When I was starting off I used to reach out to bigger authors - mainly alt lit darlings - for advice & the responses were usually mean & now that people do it to me I try & remember that all everyone needs is encouragement. So be nice. It's really easy to be nice

1. I pulled a manuscript from a publisher ystrdy, 1st time I've ever done that. Our relationship started off great but he started belittling my taste in lit, who I spent my time with, what bands I liked, and by then end I was getting dozens of texts a day attacking my character,

I dunno if I appreciated it enough at the time but this could’ve been the high water mark of my writing career - I won two separate writing awards from @CityCollegeNY - 1 in fiction and 1 in non fiction, the first person in over 100 years to do so. Thanks CCNY!!

2. politics, and looks. He kept holding the legacy of the press over my head and why I needed them. I'm never confrontational so I took it, but it eventually had me smoking cigs again so ystrdy my gf was like you have to be done with this person they're insane. So I did.

Like almost a decade ago a really unpolished half baked version of Play The Devil was put out by a now defunct press. I've gotten most back but I've always wondered where the 10 or so copies I couldn't find ended up. Well today one was spotted in Northern Minnesota. Crazy!
