flip phone

I recently sent off a manuscript I’d worked on for years. I worked on it for so long that when I started, social media wasn’t a big deal. When I started, the sexy actress was Kate Hudson. There was no Instagram. One character is stalking another one without Google. So that story had to change. (Also, by the way, we have to set our stories before 2017 now or they get upended by trump.) So now I’ve started working on another unfinished manuscript and some guy just pulled out his flip phone.

• do not let yourself feel small and stupid
• the humiliation of my 17 year old journal
