Where the magic happens in your writing: my takeaways. Draft 1 - shit (idea stage) Draft 2 - plugging narrative gaps Draft 3 - write into it more because gaps lead to more gaps, some gaping Draft 4 - frustration, because it is not coming together the way you want it to. 1/n

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a bibliophile in possession of a great number of books must be in want of a bookcase-lined room with a rolling ladder.

Ugh just read a Substack article by a lit mag editor that I'm almost certain was edited with AI. The style is so common: * short, punchy sentences * "This, not that" construction. ("It's not a rejection; it's a sign the process is working...") * Things in threes. ("Not a no, not a rejection, not a closed door. A window to something better...") I cannot say it enough: writers & editors, please stop relying on AI to help you edit your stuff. AI strips you of your own voice & makes you sound like a machine. It's utterly depressing to read such pieces from writers and lit mag editors.

Tech companies made a choice to get people hooked on social media when they were kids, knowing it increases loneliness & depression. Now they're selling products, like AI companions, to cure the very despair they caused. Real joy is found in books, in friends, in logging off.

I'm kinda worried that the lifestyle being sold to us is intentionally ruining our ability to ever feel joy or contentment but Idk what to do about it.

Ray Bradbury once said "Get passionate about ideas. Cram your head full of images. Stay off the internet & all that crap. Read all the great books. Read all the great poetry. See all the great films. Fill your life with metaphors. And then explode." I think about this every day.

The climax of To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) unfolds on Halloween night, when Scout and Jem are attacked while walking home from a school pageant. This scene introduces Robert Duvall in his first credited role as the reclusive Arthur "Boo" Radley. "Hey, Boo."

Inspired by @gregmushen I have been doing 2-5 minutes of cardio every 30 minutes (almost) every day for about 6 weeks and trying to get 10,000 steps. Here are my observations:

Hear me out. Scraping papaya entrails is the existential metaphor for why some people lean towards the concept of salvation in midlife. Because no one wants another lifetime of dealing with *that*.

The Oxford Comma
The Oxford Comma@RealOxfordComma·
With all due respect, @MerriamWebster, I am far from optional—at least for those who favor civilization over confusion, chaos, and anarchy.
Merriam-Webster@MerriamWebster

The Oxford comma (also known as the ‘serial comma’) is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by ‘and’ or ‘or.’ It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.
