This is such an important distinction.
Sometimes you just need a friend's encouragement.
Sometimes you need professional help.
They are not the same thing.

A writer I know once had a friend ask if they'd look at their first book.
My friend: Yes, but do you want SUSAN Q WRITER, Famous Author, to look at it, or do you want your buddy Suzy to look at it?
The new writer had to sit & THINK about that before deciding they wanted Susan Q Writer's opinion :)

*mutters* you don't need to pay good money to hire an editor if you don't actually want an editor *mutters* just ask a friend to say nice things about your book *mutters* or buy them a pizza as a bribe if it's not good enough on it's own *mutters* it's still way cheaper *goes for an angry walk*

One of the worst things about coming to the “big city” is that technically, the libraries have access to soooooo many more books. But tiny library locations.
I miss my big town huge library buildings. So much seating 😭

Folks: do not sleep on this amazing new tool launched by Al Gore called "Climate Trace". I have never seen an emissions map quite like this. Uses satellites and *assigns emissions to company sources* (!!)
Look at what we've done to the North Sea:

Creators: When you can (and you almost always can), celebrate your fellow creators in public. Take joy in their successes, talk them up to your own fans and friends, and do what you can to make them feel welcome and included in the community we are all part of. It will make everyone's lives better.

The hardest part about switching from WIP-mode to synopsis-mode is that I have to like, believe in myself and my work. Sounds fake.
