@geekwithsoul But feel free to RT my initial request. So far I have a graphic novel series and an ecofeminist sci-fi (kinda) author.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@geekwithsoul ...a short one, please!

[Jessie @jesstype]

Favorite novels, preferably sci-fi/fantasy/speculative/45 degrees off from normal, wherein the land has agency(ish) & people don't get it?

[Jessie @jesstype]

I'm not sure I've ever done better than to write about a "damning enjambment" in Milton once upon a time when I was in coursework.

Times you are glad your SO is a statistician: when you need to figure out the hydrologic cycle for your #dissertation.

[Jessie @jesstype]

Almost wrote "#biasedshakespearean" in an email to a student.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Pacemakr I should add that my advisor actually liked what I churned out. It was not several thousand words of garbage!

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Pacemakr Seriously: I wrote a third of a dissertation chapter in FOUR DAYS because suddenly it was a game. So simple, but totally perfect.

If you are competitive, need yet resist structure, and have a daily schedule that makes you want to scream, just try it. </proselytizing>

So after an extended break from Twitter, I'm here bc I have a writing planning tool you *really* need to know about: https://t.co/gweIrQq7al

SO = okay dude. This is based on a conversation that moved from Jon Snow's parentage to Daenarys's ruling style to gender politics in the US

@VZWSupport Hi. All I want to do is speak to a customer service rep, but my phone sends me back to the *611 page instead of making the call.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama Will do!

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama It's nice that we already have a guide for reading poetry I can point to occasionally: http://t.co/6dXLRXulHA

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama Oh, cool! I'm doing Writing Center work. A bit scary bc it's so visible, but will be useful when I'm back in the classroom.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama Is what you're working on going to be online/public, or is it limited as course material? My document is getting so long.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama Of course, sometimes a bonkers analysis of broken trochaic tetrameter actually helps you. No knowing until you try!

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama I'm working with "Design," but ideally the guide will be helpful for approaching most any kind of literary text.

[Jessie @jesstype]

@Astrophilorama ...arguments after you spend twenty minutes developing a bonkers analysis of broken trochaic tetrameter & letting it go.
