Go make your difference—now…
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1836:
Don't write the book you think 'people will buy'. No one knows for sure what people will buy, incuding the people who sell books. Instead, write the book you need to write. The book that makes a difference.

Normalize the effective things all the time. 💚
Writing Tip:
Training yourself to write regularly isn't just to get words on pages. It's to make that writing a habit. Making writing a regular part of your routine will normalize it. It won't feel as intimidating to sit down and write if you do it all the time.

The four aspects of a great character are the Need, the Want, the Ghost, and the Lie.
A Want is their conscious desire.
A Need is what they really want but might not know.
A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.
A Ghost is that spiritual wound that caused the Lie.
A Want is their conscious desire.
A Need is what they really want but might not know.
A Lie is the thing they believe that keeps them from that Need.
A Ghost is that spiritual wound that caused the Lie.

Seems like a pretty decent test for everyone (not just government)…
"The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped."

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling.
It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t.
If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.

I advise all writers to read your work out loud. If you're writing prose, read it ALL aloud. For comic scripts, read that dialogue out loud!
Also, put on some sexy underwear. Hell why not? We only get so many "sexy underwear" chances in life, and the other people in the cafe will love it.

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
