This line, and the exercise where she has you cut out the good sentences from your writing and start from there, have stayed with me: “I can still hear her say it: Put all your deaths, accidents and diseases up front, at the beginning. Where possible. “Where possible” was often her rejoinder.”

There is a reason that fiction is considered part of a standard education.

This. They banded together to help start the college, i can’t understand why they’ve let it flounder. (Hampshire / 5 college system grad)

Added to the list of albums I thought came out in the 80s but were actually the 90s (it’s a long list, I am very confused about this time period)

What Was Literary Twitter? The Bracket *Championship Round*
We’ve reached the finals, after a week of nostalgia and a weekend of quarterfinal voting. The final two are a fitting last pairing, though we were sad to see Should writers read? and @GuyInYourMFA …

There‘s definitely seasonality to my writing, Jan–March is my best focus time. So yes, I think it’s true.

I hate the @nytimes.com headline though. “Mother” of Plan B? Not “entrepreneur” or “trailblazer” or “force behind”? In this setting it’s particularly 😠

My biggest frustration is when the code field doesn't automatically get keyboard focus. So I am typing away and then look at the screen and...argh.

It's a culture that has given a hard sell to being labeled/thought of/self-presented as "good" versus an actual ~bleeping~ moral compass.
