celebrate?
It’s been told to me that writing is one of my gifts. Yet despite this, I still spend a lot of time wondering if it’s a worthy pursuit of my time. And then last night, I heard someone talking about gifts and how gifts are something that should be celebrated. Celebrated, and therefore probably not ruminated over or doubted, but exercised.

Writing tips from Cory Doctorow

Pret A Manger coming to Los Angeles →
neighborhoodr-losangeles: This is fantastic news. Though I don’t know why Eater calls it a “New York” lunch place — I was addicted to Pret A Manger sandwiches in London back in 1997. Also: I’m old. I am conflicted by this news! I love Pret A Manger, but I associate it so closely with New York, that I don’t know if I want to become just another place to go in L.A.!
