Have you looked at Universities? I’ve been seeing several where I am (Southeast) that have writing / graphic needs for inhouse marketing & comms.

I think we have to lean into the creative aspects now. Emphasizing voice and audience connection over everything else.

Thank you for all your revision updates, tricks & tips, here & beyond. I watched an old talk between you & Peter Ho Davies this morning to calm my over anxious revision brain.

When I turned 16 in Georgia I could not get my driver’s license because the DMV was

Post explaining the inability of ChatGPT to connect with audience, followed by a post with an example of Prime using and delivering a failed AI summary to their audience.

The timeline is making your case perfectly. No notes. No proofreaders either. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for bringing this to light. Here are the stats from UA’s research website.

We had a friend who used her Sam’s card as id to get in the Bahamas.

It’s true. I teach college and try and tell them this all the time. I did a lot of things beforehand and it was all part of life’s important lessons.

Am teaching from Questlove’s book on creativity in comp class today and this is amazing. In fact, he refers to the creative process as a remix. Chef’s kiss on the perfect timing.

I assume this is the real reason we get paid early in December

Anyone out there got a book coming out in 2025 that they want someone to review?

My goal is to review at least four books per month for my new book review newsletter next year, a mix of some old & some new books, & I'd love to consider reviewing your new (or old) ones if you have an electronic ARC.

Mistook pre-heating for pre-eating. Simple mistake!

That makeup 😬 Looks like he’s lost a lot of weight in the picture on the left.

They were just sharing with the ladies on the chair. Very considerate of them honestly.

I really want everyone to make completely nonsense posts over there to help train Elon’s AI. It’s the least we can do on our way out.🙃

Cheers to your English major. Reading critically is about to be an invaluable skill.

Same. I’m trying to decide how much “news” I need to know.

Yes. Have been teaching Emerson & Thoreau in lit class these last few weeks and they both emphasize how much is gained from trying (and failing). Experience as the best teacher.

Have you read The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters? Historical + eerie mystery. So very good.

The Last House on Needless Street is creepy (lose your mind). The Snow Child is more magical (find your soul). Both are excellent and woodsy.

I use it for this and love it. Though, I don’t really use the revise function that it has. I think the sidebar is so helpful for moving things around, cutting, color coding different characters, etc.
