If wealthy, highly visible women in news and entertainment are sexually harassed, assaulted and raped -- what do we think is happening to women in retail, food service and domestic work?

1) If you don't pay me, I can't afford to live.
2) I was not placed on earth to help you live your fucking dream. I have my own.
3) Come back when you've figured out funding/your business model.

Realtalk: Writing is a career. It has a community. You have colleagues. To suggest that you don't need or shouldn't want any of these things is ridiculous. Colleagues help each other out.

How to Write a Novel:
— Sam Sykes (@SamSykesSwears) November 15, 2017
1. Write what's in your heart.
2. No not like that.
This is hard. But @ShaunKing is 100% right. I completely support @SenFranken's politics. His mugging for the camera as he squeezes a woman's breasts is a loathsome example of sexual assault. He is unfit for the Senate, as is Roy Moore. https://t.co/idTvbfpqXY

How to Write a Novel:
— Sam Sykes (@SamSykesSwears) November 13, 2017
1. Have an idea
2. Develop a reliable schedule
3. Accept the realization that they'll one day know you have no fucking idea what you're doing
3a. They'll all know
4. Outline!

You do have power & privilege even in small doses and small interactions. One great example of this is street harassment. You do not GET harassed on the street as often as women/nonbinary/trans people do. https://t.co/2br6TtBD9l
