“Creating content is expensive. The cost of the tools may have dropped considerably, but the value of your time increases every minute you live past the age of 25, or move out of your parents house, which ever comes later. At some stage in your life, you reach a point where Mac and Cheese and free food at happy hour and buying used clothes are disapointments rather than choices. At some stage in your life, asking your friends to work for free is no longer “hanging out”, its imposing or freeloading. Its at that point you are going to realize that you are working really hard and scared shitless about whether you will be able to make a living doing what you love.”

“Runny Babbit is a book full of poems with letters moved around. Because our brains are wired to recognize patters, it is hard for adults to read the book. This is the only book where my 6 year old daughter can read faster than I. She sees the words as they are printed. I see patters from past experience and have to fight my instincts.”
