Went into the thrift shop and found a find. This is going to Mad Men up my office at least 30%

I am the only person at this Brooklyn coffee shop who was alive when this Steely Dan song came out. Like ten of them weren’t born yet and I am pretty sure the 11th was a vampire already by then

I used to be confuse discrete and discreet all the time, using the former when I meant the latter, etc. I kept seeing other people doing it too. It felt like no one knew.
Then I found the cure. Just write a cozy mystery. The whole damn village is discreet! #writingcommunity

Moving again, and I think it’s finally time to let go of my huge, Y2K era, “History Will Mock Them!!!!” stack of rejection letters. Everything from query letters to poetry journals, kept for 2 decades out of pure spite! 😂 #writingcommunity #authorlife

Writers are told to "build a platform," as if the solution to being ignored as an author is to become ignored as a content creator instead.

Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

I don't understand the point of using the term "dozen". It means 12, so just say 12? It's even worse when people say or type "half a dozen". Just say 6 or six.
