The story is delightful on many levels but perhaps most because this is the first quote from a scientist on the team:

“I just hope when we poke it, something doesn’t decide to come out,” one scientist said. “It’s like the beginning of a horror movie.”

I hope more writers will, in the current conditions, be open about the beautiful irrationality at the heart of writing. You can box it in by talking about word counts and whatnot, but at the heart is a raging fire and *being lost* and a deep disrespect for cordial efficiency.

Anyone have a recent story about negotiating a good deal on rent? It can be about getting a new place or avoiding a big increase at your current place or whatever. Curious to hear what you did & how it worked out. DM me if you've got something to share. Thx! #amwriting #rent

Be wary of "full-time freelance" roles. Sometimes I see people posting freelance roles that they say are 40hrs/full-time...and that's a job. That's a job without benefits.

Does anyone know any Twitch streamers who’d be open to talking about their streaming experience with me?

This is for a piece that I’m working on.

Please RT so this can reach the right person 💫

@jenphillipsapri @PRisUs I've definitely found that larger clients have their own contracts, too. I always go back with my non-negotiables (like a kill fee, rights, etc.) They usually expect that and approve my requests, or we adjust the scope to meet in the middle.

There's nothing like a writing workshop to make you feel simultaneously inspired to write gorgeous, meaningful prose and completely incapable of writing anything worthwhile 😅

Biggest hack to find relevant research fast 👇

Add 'pdf' or inurl:pdf to your Google search.

Now you're only looking through reports, ebooks, and original data.

No more chasing down stat sources.

Thank me later 😉
