Sneak peek 👀 Drafting the landing page for “Breaking the Broadcast”: refining the story, tightening the layout, and making discovery effortless.
What should sit above the fold: the hook or the chapter sample?

PSA: Time changes, books don’t. We’re losing an hour but gaining a whole long weekend for Labour Day: fair trade for extra chapters. Daylight saving starts Sunday in NSW. Which indie read are you diving into first? #LabourDayWeekend #SpringForward #AussieReads #IndieBooks
Minimalist illustration on white: thin black line art of an analogue clock with a forward motion arc above an open book, with a soft navy accent. Text at bottom reads: ‘Daylight saving starts Sunday (NSW) • Happy Labour Day long weekend’

🤣 Don’t even get me started on the irony of translating from Britglish to Ameriglish to Ausglish 🤣
But while we’re at it, is BOOP in the dictionary yet?
Merriam Webster tweet that reads ‘Phonetic’ is not. ‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters. ‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym. Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

🤣 Suit up GenX
www.reddit.com/r/GenX/s/JOC...
Post in the Reddit gen x forum titled I learned why we are always ignored: I was at a leadership conference and one of the speakers was talking about generational strife. And she talked to/about the boomers, and then the millennials, and then the zoomers. And then she said, “Gen X, I didn’t forget you, even if the rest of the world has. But I have no advice for you. For a few reasons. First, you don’t need it. You are the most independent and self-sufficient generation in the history of mankind and there is literally nothing I can teach you. Second, even if I did have something to tell you, you wouldn’t care. Third, the reason we ignore you is because the rest of us are all terrified of you. If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, we are all hiding behind you. Somehow, you’ll know what to do.”

Emoji search says either is acceptable 🤷

S’pose it’s like English English v American Enlglish v Canadian English v Ausglish (don’t even go down that rabbit hole, you’d need so much cheese 🧀 to power the translation on that 🤣)
