Am spending the week writing upstate and it was going really well until I just noticed a bear chilling five feet in front of me.
My useless fucking dogs looked at me like, yeah, it's kinda too hot to bark?
Yeah sorry I'm not going to be the dope who gets mauled trying to get a selfie. I bolted like the good city girl I am
My dad just told me the bear is why he keeps these...tools? next to his chair outside. I am not reassured.
Update: the bear was back today. Took a walk from our pond ACROSS THE DECK meandering like she owned the place 😩

2020 is gonna be a doozy
The super fun thing about writing a book on modern misogyny is knowing that this idea - that women's suffrage ruined America - is absolutely gaining traction in men's rights spaces online.

Good luck enjoying the rest of your day!
Shot, chaser.

A Republican running for governor in Mississippi refused a female reporter access to a campaign ride-along unless she was accompanied by a male colleague. Super normal country. mississippitoday.org/2019/07/09/rob…
Here's him whining that his opponents got male reporters for their ride-alongs (no fair!)
If this guy can't be trusted alone with a woman, how can he be trusted with a state?

These people have no shame
It's like she lifted lines from an afterschool special on victim-blaming
Also last time I checked they took an aggressive heavy drinker and made him a fucking Supreme Court justice so maybe these hypocrites should keep Blasey Ford's name out of their mouths

I’ve been far too lazy lately. It’s time to do something about this.
Disassembly note: the Chromecast Ultra comes with an Ethernet port in the base. While streaming even 4K isn’t a ton of bandwidth, it’s a lot of *time* on WiFi and causes a lot of competition. It’s going back wired along with the TV.
Pieces and parts disconnected - the Sonos Beam will go back on a wall mount all clean next time, after @E_Craver paints a new color towards the end of this.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

How to sell 1000 copies of your books in 6 months of less.
A Thread.

1. I had just completed my book. It took me several months to write a manuscript I was satisfied with. Now I faced the hurdle of selling the book

This is how I did it. You can do the same.
#writing
2. "How are you going to sell this book?", a friend asked me. I didn't have an answer. I had used a lot of money to produce the book and I was almost broke. It even got to the point that I almost cursed the day I decided to write that book.
#writing
#sell
3. Nobody I knew had written and sold books before. The only people I knew who wrote and sold books were pastors with a large congregation who bought their books. I didn't have a church, I was not close to anyone who had a large church, so I was in a predicament.

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."
i'm starting this !

- do not reply to the thread, just rt w comment

- if you spot any similarities with other works, it is by pure coincidence as im not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔
I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.
This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.

Writing Myths #3 Writing Portfolios are the magic way into the industry!!
Get a portfolio said the writing panel/advice/speaker in what is the latest throwaway simple advice that instantly builds a career…. So, let’s talk about them.
1/24
1)Portfolios are NOT magic. Simply having one doesn't get you a job. Tey are a tool to be used in chasing work and an increasing number of employers ask for them. Having one can be very useful, but just putting some bits of writing in the same place does not = instant career.
2) People tend to read your email first, then your c.v. and then portfolio. Mess up stages 1, or 2 and 3 may well not matter. Always rework your email, c.v. and portfolio for EVERY application. Focus on what matches that job/company.
