You know you officially have no social life when you call your Mom worried to ask when she’s coming home because it’s past 12 and you find this super unacceptable.
To empathize with my last work environment I would ask you to close your eyes. Imagine yourself sitting in a
small apartment at a tiny table in front of a malfunctioning laptop, with deadlines on the horizon. You’re body is dead from the day’s manual labor and tomorrow promises more of the same. Dinner still isn’t made. And to top off all these calming factors, dump in ten children running, screaming, asking questions, and breaking shit. The perfect recipe for getting work done.
Now, was I actually working with young children? No, but some days I was hard pressed to see the difference between my 18-24 year olds and a kindergarten class. The questions ‘What time is lunch?’ and ‘What should I do if I forgot my pants?’ were not uncommon. The most valuable skill I attained last year was the zen-like ability to quiet everything outside and empty a spot in my mind to focus. A good pair of head phones and the occasional eye-twitching glare at passersby helped immensely.

Katherine Shaye considers altering her writing tactics after reading Are Books Dead, and Can Authors Survive?. Do you agree?
I just read this aloud to myself because I am an angsty preteen, and I thought to myself, “I should probably run away, because that would probably be easier than finding a job in today’s shithole economy.”
