Look, I no longer dress my kid in the morning before school. So if he decides he wants to wear shorts despite me telling him its 20 degrees out, that's on him.

According to IMDB, KJ Apa is playing JS.
A screen capture from ProWritingAid showing recommended changes to dialogue. Original text: I heard the Knights were having a party and made sure I asked for the night off Suggested replacements. 1. Information circulated regarding the Knights’ gathering, prompting me to secure the evening free. 2. I learned of the Knights’ event; thus I requested the evening off.
A screen capture from ProWritingAid showing recommended changes to dialogue. Original text: Did y’all come with one of the guys? Suggested replacement dialogue. 1. Did you arrive accompanied? 2. Did you travel with one individual?
A screen capture from ProWritingAid showing recommended changes to dialogue. Original text: 1. Why don’t you fuck off and shut the fuck up about something you know nothing about. Suggested replacement dialogue: 1. Kindly depart and refrain from speaking of subjects you don’t comprehend. 2. Cease speaking of matters you are not knowledgeable of, and leave”
I’m using Pro Writing Aid for my self editing (don’t worry, my living, breathing editor is scheduled) & I am finding it useful for some things.
Replacement dialogue, not so much. Dialogue is not its strong point. I’m convinced it was trained on Jane Austen & the Brontë sisters. #3 is my fave.
We’re upgrading my kid’s phone & it’s been aaallllmmmmost done for the last 5 minutes. She is learning time has no meaning when it comes to phone updates.
Listened to a @fatedmates.net trailblazers podcast on the way to work & decided to look at their library. I realized they didn’t have one with @suzbrockmann.bsky.social & thinking they should fix that. Just saying. 😁
Jessica Scott only has a few more hours left on her Kickstarter and she is so close. She is seriously one of my favorite authors and I would love to see her Kickstarter succeed. Please give her a chance you won’t regret it.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS KICKSTARTER. Jessica Scott is one of my *favorite* authors & I really want to see her succeed! Plus I really want this book. 😁Check out Welcome to the Fall: A Dark Academia Military Romance by Jessica Scott on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/jes... 📚💙
Dear Readers,
“Vellum” is not AI.
It is a formatting software that has been around for several years. Many, MANY indie authors use Vellum to format their books for distribution.
Please stop giving books one star reviews because the IP page says “made with Vellum”. 📚💙

I know I’m a few weeks behind but Sinners is *GOOD*.
Just some seriously good fucking storytelling.
I’m watching Trap.
The acting is kind of horrible.
"You don't understand. Schumer had to do it. It's complicated, and you just don't get it."
Actually, I would love to get it. I would love nothing more than to understand his reasoning and take it as sound. So, let me ask you: if a leader can't effectively communicate, why are they our leader?
I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.
These are ALL under $3, but which are just 50 to 99 cents? Just click through to find out at bookgorilla.com/kindledealsonly, and while you are at it, grab this Grisham fave at its BEST PRICE EVER!

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!
Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
The kids had winter break last week & we went to Venice for Carnival. I asked my Italian publisher about arranging a time to meet & it turned out they were going to be in Venice as well!
So I got to have dinner with Eleonora of Follie Letterarie! It was such a pleasure meeting her. 💙📚
