Saw a post about the reading order of a beloved author and how their early books are a bit rocky and mediocre. Imagine if we created a writing environment that believed in and supported people, so that they could start with a slightly dumb story, and be given the connection/resources/validation/support to grow over the course of a lifetime. They wouldn’t have to hit the ground running with a splendidly workshopped series, an mfa, and an audience of TikTok followers who have promised to buy it, so that all a gatekeeper needs to do is collect the money. They could just be a chicken shed cleaner, or a mediocre small-town journalist writing one column a week (which is a job that people used to have and support an entire family - imagine writing 500 words a week and having that be your whole day job lmao) with a bad book, and forty years later they’d be a Great.

I’d like to live in a world with more Greats. There are a lot of chicken shed cleaners who are Greats and we’ll never know them.

I do not want it to be like “back in the old days” where it was only men (with housekeeper wives) writing mediocre books. I want secure material circumstances for people, and I want time for them to do something that may never “pay off.”

They should invent a room where I have to write a certain amount of words every day (on my fanfics, book I’m working on, poems, etc) and I’m not allowed out of the room until I’ve done that certain amount each day.

Also I get paid a livable wage for it.

Also I have a person there to give me feedback anytime I ask.

Also I have a person there to correct all my typos.

The morning of a red-skied May 1948 / Could've been today. / They knocked the doors down, / claimed life as their own. / The chances of their staying fragile. / But now look: / houses are in ruins, keys around necks, / odds far from even, / far from running water. // Ramadan villages retired singing, / rifles sang instead, / announcing declaring / an anticipated empire on the ruins of another. // Seven decades later
they harvest organs of the martyred, / feed their warriors our own. / The people of Haifa left. / Some fled after news some stayed, / gave coffee to massacre. / Some walked a straight line into the sea / back to their city / refused to be martyred / refused to exit. // They were one with Haifa, / drowned / in this life, / soaked in salt. // My grandmother—Rifqa— / was chased away from the city, / leaving behind / the vine of roses in the front yard. / Sometime when youth was / more than just yearning, / She left poetry. / What I write is an almost. / I write an attempt. // She left behind clothes folded ready to be worn again; / her suitcases / did not declare departure. // Rifqa left Haifa to go to Haifa / to go to Haifa. / Rifqa walked solid. / "We'll return once things cool down,"
and she believed, / wore her key / until her key her neck her memory / became the same color.

Mohammed El-Kurd, from Rifqa

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.
