"Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive." --Unverified - Rita Mae Brown (1944- ) Possibly from “Starting from Scratch” (1988) #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #RitaMaeBrown That line, “Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive,” pulls no punches. It speaks to the age-old tension between art and commerce: many writers find that when they chase money, the writing suffers. The demands of markets, contracts, and financial pressures can dilute the purity of what you want to say. The quote suggests a trade-off: prioritizing your craft too heavily can leave you broke, while prioritizing money can compromise your voice. But there’s a subtle defiance in it too. If money and writing are apparently mutually exclusive, maybe that “apparently” is telling. The work of a writer is to push past appearances, to find ways to make your art live and survive. The statement is a warning and a rallying cry: write earnestly, even when the dollars don’t follow. Let the craft be your currency.
"Money and writing appear to be mutually exclusive."
--Unverified - Rita Mae Brown (1944- )
Possibly from “Starting from Scratch” (1988)

Join us as we go all in on this Frankenstein's monster of a slasher film that showcases some feminist themes, while courting to #RogerCorman's demands of boobs, butts and blood. That it all began with a parody script from noted queer feminist #RitaMaeBrown makes it all the more interesting!

#FYI: that's not the #definition of #insanity. It's a #quote from a book! The quote is not #AlbertEinstein's, #scientists wouldn't say stupid metaphorical shit like that about #science!
The quote actually attributed to #RitaMaeBrown, a #mystery #author, who used it in her 1983 #book, #SuddenDeath.

"I think the reward for conformity is everyone likes you but yourself."
Rita Mae Brown
There is a difference between right & wrong. We know it in our bones.
If you duck your head & go along with the crowd, you are just as bad as they are.
