When #editing, if your brain is tired, you *will* make mistakes.
Currently reading through a 1-page document.
My brain is trying to convince me that the word FAVORITE is spelled wrong. I know it's not, but I looked it up anyway.
Time for a water break and maybe a nap.

I taught creative writing for ten years. The best writers?
They don't ever stop learning.
They don't give up because it's hard.
They don't rush to publish anything.
You've got time to make your book the best it will be.

You know you're a writer when you run errands all day, thinking about how much you want to be writing, and barely remember eating dinner.
Now you're getting blurry-eyed. It's time for bed, and you refuse. You want to keep writing.

#ScrivenerTip: Create a project for all your Shiny New Ideas.
Organize it all in the binder. No more hunting through all your scribbles, notebooks and files, trying to figure out where you stuck that "one thing".
Any book title, poetry line, essay, blog or project idea...dump it there.

👩💻I don't #write without a book outline, but they are aspirational at best. By chapter four, my #characters stage a rebellion. Negotiations begin.
The #novel starts and ends how I plan & I'll allow them run feral through the middle and record the shenanigans.

Met a new human.
Cue casual chit chat.
I ask a few basic questions.
Get one-sentence responses.
Then a wall of ChatGPT text. Syntax, vocabulary, and punctuation make it obvious. He admits it.
🤯🤬
People, it was a first convo, simple question.
Some folks don't know how to think. At all.

I know why teachers are getting mad and giving up. I would quit, too. I once got a DM of 14 lines of text with 97 grammatical & spelling errors. I had to read it 4 times to decipher it. He couldn't spell several 3 letter words. No punctuation. This was a fully grown CEO who couldn't write an email.

Illiteracy is a big problem in this country. People need to hear the truth. Excuses and coddling won't fix it, and AI is only making it worse.
People who *can* read and write are being falsely accused of using AI, simply for using proper punctuation, a bigger vocabulary and writing with eloquence.

This is your friendly reminder that humans are mammals and animals follow weather patterns. Winter is for extra calories, slowing down, cozy clothes and naps. Spring is when animals come alive. Spring is when your brain will focus better on rebirth, setting goals, routines and making life changes.

Me: *Staring at my writing.* "I know how to spell that. How is this a typo?"
Also Me: *Leans in closer, squints and wipes thumb on screen.* "Oh...it's just schmutz. Guess it's time to clean my laptop again."
Also, I spelled schmutz wrong 3 times before Googling it.
I need coffee.

I'm seriously considering creating some basic English grammar and creative writing courses to help students and adults become more literate. I just don't know if anyone would care enough to do all that work to put it together.

#Teachers are not lying. I taught #writing for 10 years. Kids are getting to college without basic writing or #reading comprehension skills.
They don't know how to form a proper sentence with capitals and periods. This is basic 1st grade grammar, and they can't do it. Worse, they don't even care.

I've officially entered THE VOID between Christmas and New Year, where time is slow and absolutely nothing needs doing. I'm writing, reading, napping and snacking, enjoying my peaceful hibernation mode.

Look, if you're editing and revising your book for the 5011th time, just stop. Any typos or plot holes that have survived your insane perfectionism can live. Save your soul from the caverns of dark madness, and call the book finished. It's going to be okay, I promise.

Books don't just tell stories. They help us learn and grow as people, and how to listen and connect to others different from ourselves. Reading great books is where empathy begins.

I'm trying to write *checks Scrivener* 18 projects at the same time, all of which my raging #AuDHD brain is convinced is equally fascinating, and mind-freezingly boring. Project 19 is brainstorming like a hurricane supercell. Send help. That little dopamine fucker got lost on the side quest again.

"That's not... quite how it works, Dad."

ALL of us who served honorably in the military swore the lifelong oath to protect the Constitution from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We, who served honorably, have never forgotten that oath. Some of our non military leaders seem to forget they swore to protect the Constitution. I Wonder Why?

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.
