'If you wrote 1,000 to 5,000 words today, you can write zero words tomorrow without hating yourself. If you wrote more than 5,000 words today—no, you didn’t, or else all those words are bad.'

NEXT SEMINAR: Learn to make readers laugh while RIPPING OUT THEIR HEARTS in a full-length sad, funny book about yourself, your world, and your exes/parents WritingWorkshops.com.

The only book I've ever literally thrown across the room was John Updike's Terrorist, on the line where it describes a woman's breasts as a pair of upturned breakfast bowls with blueberries on top. (I'm paraphrasing, because obviously I don't still own my copy.) A terrible book!

Elissa Bassist's 'How to Write a Tragicomic Memoir' Zoom seminar will teach you how.
