I say that because I’ve had my fair share of disappointment as a writer. I have submitted and been rejected over and over again.

It could be food, like a banana, or a cat or the sun or whatever. We learn the word through that contextual association. How different it was for Number 5 to learn about the world through television. Some things didn’t make sense, at least in how Number 5 imitated them and others did. How crushing a bug made disassemble equate to death. How often do you have […]
