So I got to hang out in a long-abandoned hospital with publicist extraordinaire Elyse Marshall and Ransom Riggs (author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children). Ransom took this picture in a patient room on the fourth floor.

[Romance and Sex Questions in an Airport]

Venn truth bombs from John Green.

“Have you ever had *whispers* unprotected sex?”

Four different people asked this.

Guys.

I HAVE A CHILD.

Mr. Green has thousands of fans and (I assume) minimal free time, so I need a hook.
Apparently he sees a lot of homoerotic Sherlock fan art, so I tried to draw some. If anyone has a problem with the hypothetical romance between an asexual character and a married author, I’ll delete this post in a hot second.
 
(If you truly think it crosses a line, I promise to remove this post.)

If this is parody, it is BRILLIANT. The look on John’s face, the captions! Brilliant likenesses, as well.

If the artist is actually into Sherlock/John Green, then it’s mildly unsettling. Still good likenesses, though.

I hope no one, including (but not limited to) John Green, will hate me for sharing a post from John’s password-protected Tumblr, OnlyIfYouFinishedTFiOS.tumblr.com. It’s just that I think The Turnip Guy needs to be A Thing.

I’m envisioning a carved turnip head in one of those color pies (eg Art School Owl) with misheard quotes from TFiOS. Someone else will have to spearhead that, however; one John Green meme Tumblr is enough for me, thank you.

In John Green’s mid-tour “Thoughts From Places” video, he made the following comment:

“Writing is something you do alone. It’s a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t want to make eye contact while telling it.”

I know John didn’t say that writing can ONLY be done alone, or that it’s a profession ONLY for introverts, but I got the impression that that is what he meant, and that’s the message I’d like to address.

It’s true that many writers are introverts. The idea of the “reclusive writer” is so common as to be a trope in film, television, and books, and it is of course based partly on reality.

But it is far from true that all writers prefer to write alone, are introverts, and prefer to tell their stories without looking someone in the eye.

For example: I am a writer. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am far from introverted. And I love to tell stories, whether that’s face-to-face or through the written word. I love to tell the sort of story that’s just “Oh man, I met this guy this one time and,” and I love to read my written stories out loud.

So why do I write stories down? I want to tell my stories to more people than I can ever get face-to-face. I want to tell my stories to people who aren’t yet alive. I want to keep telling stories after I’m dead, and no longer capable of doing so face-to-face, or eye-to-eye.

So, there’s the other side of that coin.

It’s a reasonable albeit cheesy slogan for a cancer support group, but I’m having a hard time seeing how “Living your best life today” applies to office supplies.

I’m writing a fan sequel right now that follows Patrick’s journey to become the successful marketing director of a company that makes dry erase boards.

This is the post where I tell you about my other Tumblrs, so that you might follow them!

Are You Taking Pictures of Me, Dude?
Yeah, you probably already follow this if it’s up your alley. A John Green meme.

It makes me really sad that this only has one note. Nobody else liked that quote but me?

“Publishing CEOs are really funny when they talk about the Internet. They sound exactly how I sound when I talk about, like, automobile transmissions: ‘Transmissions are interesting, and probably important, and I am in favor of transmissions.’”
- John Green
