    1. Don’t think that being published will make you happy. It will for four weeks, if you are lucky. Then it’s the same old fucking shit.

    2. Hemingway was fucking wrong. You shouldn’t write drunk. (See my third novel for details.)

    3. Hemingway was also right. ‘The first draft of everything is shit.’

    4. Never ask a publisher or agent what they are looking for. The best ones, if they are honest, don’t have a fucking clue, because the best books are the ones that seemingly come from nowhere.

    5. In five years time the semi-colon is going to be nothing more than a fucking wink.

    6. In five years time every fucking person on Twitter will be a writer.

    7. Ignore the fucking snobs. Write that space zombie sex opera. Just give it some fucking soul.

    8. If it’s not worth fucking reading, it’s not worth fucking writing. If it doesn’t make people laugh or cry or blow their fucking minds then why bother?

    9. Don’t be the next Stephen King or the next Zadie Smith or the next Neil Gaiman or the next Jonathan Safran fucking Foer. Be the next fucking you.

    10. Stories are fucking easy. PLOT OF EVERY BOOK EVER: Someone is looking for something. COMMERCIAL VERSION: They find it. LITERARY VERSION: They don’t find it. (That’s fucking it.)

    11. No-one knows anything. Especially fucking me. Except:

    12. Don’t kill off the fucking dog.

    13. Oh, yeah, and lastly: write whatever you fucking want.

    Thug Nigga (ft. Capital LS and ASU) by Tupac Shakur

    In the summer of 1996 Tupac invited a slew of east coast rappers (Greg Nice, Capital LS, Boot Camp Clik, among them) out to his home in California to record an album with his group, the Outlawz, titled One Nation. The album was to show that Shakur’s feud was with Notorious BIG and Bad Boy Entertainment, not the east coast in general. Pac’s murder shelved the One Nation project and sadly, it never saw a commercial release. The tracks posted are original recordings that were meant to make up the One Nation album.
