soft plagiarism - Imitation is a form of flattery. But if you’re going to plagiarize someone’s actual experience at least make some effort to connect it to yours
LITTLE DELIGHTS
The texts my father sends me about Hot Literati
FROM THE HOT LITERATI UNIVERSE
BOOK CLUB
We’re reading The Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir. We’re meeting Wednesday evenings at 8:30 pm ET. Sign up here
ASK HOT LITERATI
This week I’ll be answering :
“can you tell us about your Bible studying and Christian faith? Also! how that effects your reading literature”
“What are your thoughts on having a sacred relationship with God? It seems to me (media expectations/church) that our relationship with God has to be to most public to show how “holy” we are, but personally I just want to keep it close, idk I hope that makes sense.”
LOVE SEX (&) LITERATURE
New! Sex and Relationships advice from Hot Literati ‘24 writer and couples therapist
This week he’ll be answering:
"I also got out of a 4-year relationship last year. I’m not ready to be in a new one, so how do I date without the other person expecting a relationship out of me? I’m not interested in hookups but I also don’t want any exclusivity or a relationship. How do I find that balance and make my intentions clear?"
"what do i do if my longing for a romantic partner makes evenings alone in my dorm room unendurable”
