I used to live in New York City. Now I don't. I used to be in my twenties. Now I'm not. I used to blog a lot more. Now I'm trying to do so more often. All opinions are my own.

Love this. Copied it into my Rhodia notebook that houses book 2 notes and stuff.
Really, really good advice from a really, really good writer.
