Stories don't have to begin at the beginning. When writing, begin anywhere. Maybe you already know the ending. Maybe there's a big battle that you can picture in your mind. Maybe it's a moment of romance. Get the words out, no matter where they end up in your story.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

While I have never dropped the needle on a vinyl record, I HAVE used eight tracks, which means whoever made this Are You Old list is probably younger than me.
I have never done (9) (it's anti-social), (13) (Blockbuster never operated in my country), or (20) (those things were *expensive*).
I am teh oldz.

I love this list. I never did #9, because at the time, I just didn't want to.

I'm sure that a "Happiness is Mandatory" policy is indicative of a desirable workplace, yeah?
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Nothing has made me want to watch the Materialists more than this. I love an ominous silence.
I know everybody is busy watching Frankenstein this Friday evening, but *I* am watching The Materialists bc the idea of A24 doing a rom-com was too intriguing not to stream as soon as it hit HBO. And I can confirm this is a *very* A24 rom-com, right down to the ominous silences

Querying writers -- Please give yourselves some grace and stop fretting about a few silly typos in your queries. We probably won't notice them, we're not going to hold them against you, and if we DO hold them against you, you don't want to work with us anyway.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔
Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.
Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.
