I didn't know about this. Seems like a great thing.
periodic reminder of the existence of Atkinson Hyperlegible, a free font available from the Braille Institute designed to improve readability for people with low vision

I use it in talks because it's pretty and also because, as an audience member, I am perpetually squinting at people's slides

Would love to see death positive NF, big idea books with a ‘speculative’ bent to them, under explored histories, and all things astrology/tarot!! #mswl

It's definitely what proves you're a "real" agent. Most Coveted Screenshot 100%.
I'm obsessed with obscure internet stuff so when learning about trade publishing, I was fascinated by Publishers Marketplace, the craigslisty, barebones website about who's doing what in publishing

it has a lowkey badass social media vibe among authors, editors, and agents, as this piece describes

Thought I'd demystify publishing language for debuts.

'Structural edit' = rewrite your book
'Line edit' = all these sentences are wrong
'Copy edit' = your chronology is wrong
'Proof read' = there are still loads of errors
'Second proof read' = how the hell is your punctuation still up the spout?

I like to ask what they think they want & where that aligns or differs from their unconscious needs. I like "the unique & personal way in which your protagonist connects with their world." I'm adding that to my q about aspects of life in which they are safe vs the things that weigh upon them.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1650:
No two people see the world in exactly the same way. When creating a character, try considering the unique and personal way in which your protagonist connects with their world; their dominant sense; their limits; their abilities. How do these things define them?

This thing I'm knitting is just for practice and has no predetermined length. It's going to be a pet blanket for donation, so my sole criteria at this point is "am I sick of it yet? [Y/N]"
