So, I’d just met one of my best long distance writer’s group friends (shoutout @wordgrower) IRL for lunch, and when I got home... I realized The Email had been sitting in my inbox... for seven hours. I still have NO IDEA how I missed the notification 😂

I mean Rainbow McLaughlin sounds more like a drag queen but okay.

Your book's villain/antagonist is your first pet's name + the last name of your 5th grade teacher. The world will tremble at the mere mention of Spooky Alsobrooks!

This morning I listened to the @rodryanshow for the first time since moving to Nebraska. A little bit of home in these below-freezing temps ❤️ Y'all made my morning infinitely better

Just learnt about Rejection Wiki, where you can see whether you got a form rejection or a better class of rejection, so I think we can all agree I should never go there because I can't be trusted to use this information responsibly.

BREAKING: ACA enrollment down 10% so far with Trump marketing budget down 90%.

The good news: Most can get covered for $75/month no matter pre-existing conditions.

The problem: almost no one knows that after Dec 15 it will be too late to get covered.

can the person near the museum playing the recorder please stop

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

.@LindseyGrahamSC, the point of such a treasured museum is to bring its lessons to present day.

This administration has jailed children and violated human rights. Perhaps we should stop pretending that authoritarianism + violence is a historical event instead of a growing force.

THE TYPES OF WRITERS
✧ writes Soft Things then makes readers suffer
✧ has bitten and will bite again if interrupted
✧ just a stack of toast crumbs in a trench coat
✧ plans novels and jots down wizarding tips in the same notebook
✧ hasn't stopped screaming since 1785

In fact, insider knowledge might prevent you from FEELING that something is fundamentally not working.

[Steph Matthiesen 🌿 writing | marketing | editing @wordgrower]

The single best nugget of writing advice I've ever heard comes from @neilhimself : "When people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong."

[Steph Matthiesen 🌿 writing | marketing | editing @wordgrower]

I just feel like this is SUCH an important concept. Your readers don't have the insider knowledge of your work — there's no way they can know the inner workings of your story like you do. But when something doesn't work, it doesn't work, and you don't need that insider knowledge.
