Post from Julia Fine that says, "Write the book you want to read because you will have to read it 75 times."

There's a children's book on the vine, ripe and ready to pick, er, lick.

And perpetrator.

Well, if there are themnanigans as noted, the let's not forget
hernanigans
himnanigans
menanigans and
usnanigans.

Maybe
xenanigans and
xemnanigans

Subject and object.

Personally, I've see a lot of her/him/themnanigans, and committed plenty menanigans.

Now, I've completely confused autocorrect.

There are a lot of reasons I recommend @scrivenerapp.bsky.social to new writers, but my favorite is how fully featured its Compile tool is. With a few clicks you can output to a near-publish-ready ePub or a crisp standard format manuscript for submission to requesting agents.

It. Kicks. Ass.

And it's cheap. There's no subscription you keep paying, and, for now at least, all updates are free.

There's a learning curve, it's spell check is only so-so, there's no grammar check built in, and you may only use a fraction of the features.

But I love it. Has a screenplay mode too.

How 'bout them egg prices, eh?

But thanks for the ear worms.

Behold the wild potato.

A bear road.

That's an unbearable amount of sauce, Ted.

Someone posted one of their publised poems here. I read it three times trying to understand the meaning behind the imagery, turning my brain inside out but not quite wrapping one in the other.

Now, I read every post like it's a prose poem trying to reveal an inscrutable secret I'm falling to grasp.

Or some other doggle.

Advice My advice? To watch, and wait for the tide to turn - wait as the beached boat waits, without a thought for either its own waiting, or departure. As I put it so well myself: "The patient triumph since life is long, and art merely a toy.’ Well - okay - supposing life is short, and the sea never touches your little boat - just wait, and watch, and wait, for art is long; whatever. To be quite honest with you, none of this is terribly important.

‘Advice’ by Don Paterson (after Antonio Machado)

Coincidentally, the name of my glam rock band.

Sometimes you rip off the bandaid. Sometimes you wait for it to fall off.

The telephonophobia struggle is real.

430 days of Duo Lingo did not prepare me to understand much of Bad Bunny's halftime show, but the energy was off the charts.🐇⚡️

Why units a crucial part of story problems.

Livin' the dream.

Sex, drugs, and... oh.
