itsverybeautifuloverthere asked: I was discussing literature with a checkout girl at a supermarket the other day, and she made some throwaway comment along the lines of "do you know how many authors *actually* write their own books?" Please reassure me that this is scarcely more than cynical hokum, I don't think I could bear having writing become another thing not to believe in.

How odd. I was talking to a checkout girl at a supermarket yesterday, and she told me that all the questions on Tumblr are randomly generated by computers to distract authors from writing books.

We should introduce our checkout girls. Between them, they must know everything.
