Being a Better Writer: Balancing a Returning Character · 10:49pm Nov 14th, 2016

The Salt Life of an Author · 10:45am Jan 27th, 2018

Recently my laptop crashed. It crashed hard af and I had to factory reset it.

Guess who used Notepad for everything.

My salt levels are so high that I'm pissing salt, and it burns coming out. I'm about to make a fortune selling my white rain as coke to middle schoolers. Fucking salt levels so potent they'd die of dehydration after one rail. My cock salt is fentanyl-level deadly, Goddammit!

ARGHHH

UUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKK
