Have you ever been really excited about something, and you build it up and build it up and then it falls apart at the last minute?
I wanted to meet up with my running club at a location about 2 hours way, but my POS truck barely makes it around town. I had a group of friends that were going, but they all flaked at the last minute. Now, I’m pretty bummed about it.
I had a book deal pass top of the tier NY agents, get requested by a top of the industry editor at a publishing house anyone not living under a rock knows about, only to have it passed on with this text:
"2 yrs ago this would have gone 2 auction with mjr pubs getting into bidding war; six fig advance min. Thnx 2 economy, pubs aren’t willing 2 take the chance. Sry "
I’m sad. I’m eating fatty foods and drinking the devil’s drinks. I’m so, so very sad.

That seriously sucks. I’m sure you spent a ridiculous amount of time, love and sweat on the manuscript. Not much else to say - hope things get better for you soon.

The plus side is that, in 2-3 more years, you’ll probably be able to get that old deal again. What goes down will always come back up.
I just totalled my tiny corolla t boning a big pickup truck at 80km/h all i got was a bit of a stiff neck and a nosebleed.
the car is fucked, i had to climb out the window to get out. i have no money to get another car, i go to school full time and far away, i need a car to get around. I’ll probably have to pay for a lot of it too.
My family also will probably not let me train deadlifts tomorrow at the gym so ill miss a workout on top of all that.
Part of my wishes that i either got really fucked up in the hospital to pay for my stupidity, or just have died. I just feel like a giant ass right now.
