Yeah, that’s the title. Grit. Do the work, etc.

The piece is gonna be about like, fuck talent. Talent’s a trap, man. Talent’s a lie that you tell yourself to let yourself off the hook for not doing the work.

Here’s what I need to hear: I ain’t shit. Talent don’t mean shit. Hemingway had to do the work. Wallace had to do the work. Pynchon does the work. Twain did work like you wouldn’t believe. You gotta do the work, man. “Writing too much” is not a real thing, don’t bullshit yourself. Do the work, dumbass. Do the work. Work on the work. And if you’re tired, do it tired.
