#Walking and #Creativity!
My favorite break while #writing, outlining, brainstorming or pitching? Going for a walk! I’m in good company, according to the July 2020 issue of Real Simple.

#Writer Doug Hrdlicka was fired for writing this article for #Westword. It's current, honest, and tells the story of our era. Hrdlicka has better prospects than his former boss, anyway.
Kudos to Patty Calhoun @calhounwestword for finding him. #fridayreads

I’m not a fan of F-word euphemisms (preferring actual F-word), but The F-Word Second Edition (Random House 1999), provides evidence these synonyms have existed for a long time: effing, 1929; freaking, 1928; fricking, 1936; frigging, 1890; frig, circa 1600. #amreading#bookaddict
Seriously? I just got an email asking me to review the 4x6 index cards I purchased for a #writing project. “Join the conversation!” it urges. “Your opinion matters to us.” Sorry, guys, I’m not reviewing my index cards.

Beth Hill, #editor: #Editors shouldn’t take on mss not yet ready for an editor’s tools. Turn that work down. Unless you’re a developmental editor, ghost writer or co-author, decline unfinished mss. Thanks, Beth!

RT: Interesting: misinformation vs. disinformation. And I'd been wondering why my kid keeps saying "yeet." I thought she'd caught a weird bug. Thanks, @columbiajourn!
