Fanfic writing us SO fun! You can just have fun with it and not restrain yourself! And I'm so happy that Legendborn keeps getting more fanfic! Deservedly so!!!
What if I want to write a genre book with adult aged characters but I still don't want to write sex and violence. Can I do that?
How is everyone doing? 🙂
Turn off the news for your own sanity, I beg.
Another brilliant post and insight. It really makes me think and thinking is what I want to do now rather than despair though the current climate sometimes has be bending that way.
Yes, it's fascism, and let's call it like we see it, but it just seems... it feels like Trump is an anti-LBJ (rolling back rights / the Great Society) who's aspiring to be an anti-FDR (rolling back all progress since the 1929 crash).

Some leaders are nation builders. Others are nation destroyers.

For that person who needs to hear/read it:

You’re not being ignored.
You’re not less than.
You matter too.
We all do.

It’s just that WE’RE ALL going through it.

And we, as people, can only handle so much in our own orbits. Thats not selfish to acknowledge because that is our sad GLOBAL reality.
What are some of your biggest tells with AI use in student essays?

AI will not make you a better writer if you’re a good writer.

Those who actually know how to write know this and have every right to be smug about it.
And those families would STILL vote for Trump if given the chance 🙄
I've put time limits on my social media apps and it's hard but soooo freeing. I really recommend. ❤️
Everything about this and the men involved is revolting.

I'm seeing some people not take this seriously. It is. Trump wants to control the stories you get to see. The empathy and cross-cultural understanding we cultivate when we engage with international film is a threat to the parochial, cowering worldview he wants to force upon us.
