Unsolicited writing advice, no. #1716336: Over-use of dialogue tags and adverbs tends to draw attention away from the actual content of your dialogue. If you need to say in every case HOW someone said something, then consider that perhaps WHAT you made them say wasn't interesting enough.

This is the type of things people should do when they have the funds to afford it. Instead some jump up and down like a moron talking about sending the first Americans to Mars.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale will be my last for a while. I’m proud of the work I manage to do on the show… but you’re only as good as the people you get to work with and, on this particular episode, I was truly blessed. 🙌 Not one for the faint-hearted.

Unsolicited writing advice, no #7262: When you're editing a project, try changing the font before you start. It tricks your brain into seeing your words anew, making it easier to spot typos or areas that might need work.

North Londoners: there's this incredible little community cafe in Gospel Oak called Mother Canteen. Every day, they serve a different dish from around the world. Today they're doing Lamprais, a Sri Lankan dish. It is some next level shit. Never had anything like it. www.mothercanteen.com/about

Excuse me while I sob hysterically. My 15yo has been working since July on her year-long school project, and she chose to hand-paint, write, and print a cookbook of family recipes. It's so beautiful. Welcome to the author club, kiddo 💗
