Political

This is more of an unpopular fact than opinion, but I see people frequently stating the opposite on this sub, so I figured it deserves saying.

Based on the most up-to-date and comprehensive study on political ideology and demographics in the USA (Gallup Poll's Social Series) men aged 18-29 have consistently identified as conservative at about 25% for the past 25 years, with only slight variation over the course of that time-frame.

In early 2009, I finished the first draft of a novel on the same day that I created this reddit account. Today, after nearly six years, the book was finally published. Here is a timeline of the ways that r/writing has helped me along the way.

The title pretty much says it all. It's been an exceptionally long (and frequently discouraging) journey, and at every step I relied on r/writing for both advice and encouragement. These are some of the most useful and/or inspiring posts from the past five years (or at least the ones that I remembered to bookmark).
