Only this ...

He doesn't care about his cars, folks. He sells his company's carbon emission units to other corporations. He only needs tesla to keep the billions coming in from the sales of those units. carboncredits.com/tesla-hits-r...

Fun thing: I'm pretty sure you could have your production team update/change them on your behalf. If one of the novels is in a reprint phase, ask for them to flag anything "inappropriate" or request they change or remove specific words/phrases. Leaves you time to write new things!

I always did my best writing with a group. They held me accountable.

Oh, and here! ⭐️

Us too, down here in SW MO! We have warnings up for Mon- Wed for "heavy blowing snow" over 6+ inches! (I'm originally from Buffalo, NY, so I realize 6+ is standard overnight fare back home) One report even said 7-14! Completely unheard of down here! Aaaand 50's by the end of the week . . . 🤷

how to write. Essentially, it's watching and interacting with others through writing and "mirroring" what they do. They also said it was a more forgiving atmosphere than in the classroom, and they didn't feel wrong or bad for making mistakes.

To see your post brought me joy. Thank you.

said that RP ruined their writing. But the rest gave a much brighter picture. Many went on to teaching careers, published books, became content creators, ghostwriters, editors, and more, because of RP. And at the end of the day, they said it was a term RPers call "mirroring" that taught them: 2/3

It was this exact thing that I discovered, too. The topic the course was originally discussing was "a relationship with writing." How can we teach students to develop a relationship with writing? Of the 100 or so survey-takers (TTRPG, forum RP, video game RP, etc) there were about 15 people who 1/3

I did a study in grad school about this and wrote a paper on it. Writing in RP communities. The response was overwhelming. I developed a pedagogy around using the tenets of RP to help teach composition. I plan on doing my PhD dissertation on it, someday. ;)

"Don't do what we did."

Meanwhile, you were breaking the rungs of the ladder you used to climb to the top as you went up. But that's a thread for another day.

Your brand new car is nearly double what you paid for your first house. Services to fix the utilities in your house are quadruple what they were 40 years ago. Groceries are doubled in the last 10 years.

Your generation made physical labor into a pariah. Your generation told the rest of us: 7/

But the issue isn't "no one wants to work." They aren't working in the jobs you once knew. 18 year old millionaire influencers? 22 year old entrepreneurs never leaving their apartments? You sold them this life. You *told* them not to break themselves. So, 3-4 generations later the outcome is: 6/

"No one wants to work anymore" because Boomers told them not to. You told them not to break themselves in physical labor jobs. And, then, when the cost of those jobs got too high, you shipped them off to other countries. Now, you all complain no one wants to work: 5/

Gen Z was born: Millennials said, "Look, our grandparents and our parents told us to build a world where we didn't have to break ourselves every day because that's what they did. They didn't want that for us." Gen Z nodded and ran with what they were given: 4/

"Be our future. Be innovative, be kind, be different. Make life easier for you and your kids. We did our best not to break ourselves." Millennials said, "We got this!" They created new industries, built the world of technology, online shopping, diversity initiatives, apps and cell phone networks: 3/

"Don't do what we did. Go to school, get an education, don't work until your body breaks." Gen X finished high school, went to trade schools or college. They worked just as hard as their parents, some physically, others mentally. Gen X brought up Millennials and told them: 2/
