more positive vibrations from Gabino the transnational success (at least on twitter)

Yesterday I emailed my French publisher, read some submissions, received news of a contract, and emailed someone about translation rights in another country. I felt like a fucking pro. Keep checking those emails, fellow writers, because the email you're waiting for will come.

Gabino's Words of Wisdom

Best five gifts for the writer(s) in your life:
1. Leave them alone if they're typing
2. Leave reviewsof their books on Amazon
3. Tell folks to buy their work
4. Never tell them you have a story for them
5. Never ask them why they don't write "something more commercial"
