A tweet of a breakfast that says "Buttermilk pancakes with blueberry lavender compote topped with whipped maple butter and local heather honey" and a picture of these ingredients.
A quote retweet that says "Going to Denny’s and ordering the Annihilation breakfast", because the picture looks like the scene where there's a person spread on the wall full of colorful fungi.

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails. This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

Really arduous Sooke provincial park coastal trail today, for research. Five miles felt like fifteen with constant sheer rock face footholds, plunging rock cascades, and, yes, amazing views. Owls, lizards, eagles, and more. Plus a ton of inspiration for (redacted).
stairs in an early part of the trail, low difficultya seeming jumbly landslide of large rocks that was actually part of the trail.Olivia Portlander at the top of a huge wall of rock that was a typical part of the trail to climb.stunning views of jutting cliffs and coastal vegetation with mist and blue water.

If you are just writing for yourself, whatever! Sky's the limit! If you want to write FOR PUBLICATION then you need to accurately and thoughtfully compare your OWN WORK to what's CURRENTLY BEING PUBLISHED, there is no way to get around it, sorry. There just is not!

If I'm stuck while outlining, I'll start a list called "Stupid things that could happen next" and write a bunch of nonsense ideas down. Pterodactyl attack. Everyone starts singing. Someone transforms into a werewolf. Eventually the ideas become less stupid, and usually I find a solution.

this sentence from Tananarive Due’s “Rumpus Room” is so great — increasing tension by highlighting how small her body is compared to the character she’s about to confront — all organically incorporated through focus on her shadow !!
