But in finding it, I remembered this one that @jaimedilleditor.bsky.social published in 2021

hi!!!! lookie there, another month forgetting LOL

10) if your copy editor keeps correcting the million ways you've misspelled your own names, like I keep messing up "glossary," maybe you need one. And maybe I need to put on my glasses and go work instead of rambling. But you know, it's a Thursday with Monday vibes.

7) if every name starts with a vowel, probably need a glossary

8) if you invented the names by changing letters for common items, like Koilet Powl, you need a glossary

9) if your world is the exact opposite of a single stoplight town, glossary

5) if your beta readers give everyone nicknames, they can't pronounce shit and you need a glossary

6) if you used a glossary to keep everything straight while drafting, then duh, you need a glossary

3) if you have 2 or more characters with names that start with the same letter, you need a glossary

4) if you have 2 or more characters with names that have identical syllables, forget the glossary, you need a new name

I'm usually always the former, but I'm stuck in the latter right now, and I don't like it here lol

Oooo I like the yellow!

Oo that's a nice compromise

This is some of the best writing advice I've ever read.

Aside: I use tarot to keep my mind attuned to playful connections between images with rich history. Each card has multiple meanings, and the cards speak to each other differently every day.

AH! I love that! Everything is connected, and I love how tarot creates a moment where I pause long enough to think on that instead of constantly overlooking the details that make up existence.

you know I love weird
