Taylor Swift Is Alright With Me
I like Taylor Swift and I'm not ashamed to say it. I don't, in fact, think she writes bad music.

The Best Writing Advice Ellen Datlow Ever Gave Me
It was the only advice she ever gave me, and it was really freaking simple. She said, join a critique group. That's it. Nothing else. Join a critique group. It's not like she knew me or anything.
