1. Books and writing and publishing...or rather giving up on the whole publishing one's own writing thing because the world is unworthy of the effort


Me: I've wanted to write and share my stories all my life. Then I read really crappy books and see four to five star reviews for them on Amazon and Good Reads. And think to myself, seriously, why bother. People have such colossally bad taste. Like take the book I'm reading for example -- it's horrible, yet has four to five star reviews. Someone on Amazon even said the writer could do no wrong...the mind boggles.
Mother: If you don't like the book why are you reading it?
Me: No clue. It's so bad I can't stop? Example? There's the following phrase: "No one could get through to him. Except but one person."
Mother: Yeah that...doesn't work.
Me: Particularly when my mind keeps flipping words when I get distracted or tired and it becomes "Except one but person."
Mother laughs her head off.
