Some Things I Have Learned As a Writer

1. Poor grammar does not sleep.

2. We’ll never finish every idea we have.

3. No matter how hard you try, you still might make it into my book.

Every cop that's ever pulled me over has made it into my writing. They don't tend to fair too well.

I pulled the trigger. My ears hurt. But Mike's choice of books was blown away, a big hole where its heart should have been.

Author

Darren Cormier lives in the Boston area. He is the author of A Little Soul: 140 Twitterstories. His fiction has appeared in Opium Magazine, Meetinghouse, Amoskeag, Every Day Fiction, Raft Magazine, Arch Literary Journal, and One Forty Fiction, Ether Books, and Seedpod Publishing. Writing peeves: there should be a comma before the "and" in a set of three or more items; it is "A historic" not "AN historic"--the 'h' is pronounced; would've, could've, and should've are contractions and should never be written as "would of," "could of," or "should of"; and "ATM machine" is redundant.
He also invented the giraffe.
