9. Anyway, I’m verklempt. That’s all. 💙✍️ Keep writing your hearts out. #writing #editing #shortstory #BretEastonEllis #Berlin #fiction #FictionLovers

8. Writing is lonely, uncertain, occasionally masochistic work. Moments like this—when the universe says, keep going— are why we do it.

1. I’m a little verklempt today. 😭 Bret. Easton. Ellis. Read one of my unpublished stories. And not only read it—he loved it.

"... before I can enter, the doorman asks me if I have abandoned all hope. “Say it,” he commands. “Yes, okay,” I say, and I do, and then he steps aside to let me pass." from A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY SON by David Samuel Levinson on Hobart hobartpulp.com/web_features/a…

@PaulTassi Totally agree with you re White Lotus S3. It’s so bad and not in a good way. And you’re right. It feels like a completely different show but not one you actually wanna watch. It lost all the magic that made WL fun, exciting, and satisfying. This season is just lame. 😒

@atrupar This douche bag isn’t even an American. Hey, ICE, I know where you can find him. Deport his Nazi-loving ass ASAP. Let the South Africans deal with him.

um

Look what I learned on Duolingo in 2024! #Duolingo365

@Unsolved I was until I saw the lineup. 🤦🏻‍♂️ So lame. 😒

Volume 5 arrives tomorrow. Are you ready to solve a mystery?

@Unsolved First episode is great. I skipped the others. Animal mutilation? More UFO nonsense? Paranormal dorks and charlatans? Seriously? Who chose the other episodes? He/she needs to be fired. 🥱 The first season was awesome. Now it just feels like any other bad Netflix show.

Are you ready to join the search? Volume 5 comes to Netflix on October 2nd.

TRP hopes you’re as excited as we are for *Sallowsfield* by @cliffhudder! Light-hearted and philosophical, exploring along the way universal human touchstones of obsession, ruined love and the inexplicable mysteries that shape our lives. Pre-order your copy now (link in bio)!
