“Then John went to Calgary.” I don’t know if there’s a more infuriating sentence. If you’ve read Liars by Sarah Manguso you know what I’m talking about.

Happy pub day to the fantastic writer (and my good art friend) @ksalisbury ❤️🔥
Today is pub day for #NotYourChinaDoll! And the fruition of so many dreams—writing my first book and getting to see #AnnaMayWong's profile on the rise again! As Anna May once said, we sometimes even surprise ourselves at what we can do. 💖💖

So proud of my writing buddy for her first NYT byline!
Well, I’m crossing off this bucket list wish — my first byline in the NYT, which was truly a labor of love. For the last few years, I’ve been pounding the drum about the fact that Asian Americans have been in Hollywood since its inception (a history many have forgotten).

My thoughts on Death of English Majors in New Yorker: Student don't want to be reader. It wants to be writer! Introduce Creative Writing track within English major. Then sneak in Trojan Horse of Literature. "You write horror story? Check out Mary Shelley. She slaps." It works!
