What kind of writing do you do? I had somethign published on McSweeney's, and I got a ton of e-mails asking me to contribute to things. I was going to do this one thing, but I just couldn't do it. I didn't have any confidence in my writing.

I write about my life mostly. What I've learned about goal achievement and the pursuit of happiness. Not the kind of shit that belongs on McSweeney's. I'm a serious and sensitive hipster faggot type. Did you forget I was the OP?

@previous (A)
How old are you? If you are under 30, you can't write about life. You haven't lived.
Prove me wrong.

Write about loss of innocense and coming of age. And use lots of character archtypes and cliches. People love familiarity and don't like to be surprised, it scares them when they can't figure out the plot twists before the big reveal.
