Writing prompt towards action! ⏲️ 20 mins to start. Let’s go! EPISTEMICIDE: destruction of a knowledge system by killing, silencing, or devaluing it. How have we seen it? How do we stop it? If we can’t, how do we disrupt? If we can’t, how can we slow it? If not that, how do we keep others safe?

I was going to give a horror writing prompt, but (according to the algorithm) there’s a toe video going around, or something. I think you’ve had enough horror today. Go drink some water, get some eye bleach. Here. Have mine.

We know who we are, at least in part, by finding the words — messy, imprecise, unexpected — to tell others, and ourselves, how we see the world.

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

Today’s #WritingPrompt: shake up setting to add tension to a scene. Set a conflict… 🎙️ At a concert. 🧹 In a broom closet. 🚗 In a car (rush hour traffic). ⏱️ After closing hours. 🚪 In a doorway. Setting (time & space) works best when it makes sense for the characters and informs how they interact.

Literature about #wildfires can offer hope and resilience in the face of climate disasters. New works by authors like Richard Flanagan and old works by George R. Stewart explore how to cope with living in the "Pyrocene" era of frequent fires. buff.ly/40GJgDK 🌎#climatesky # 📚 #booksky

How the literature of fire can help readers find hope among the ashes
Reading and maintaining a human connection have a vital role to play as extreme events that have long served as the stuff of dystopian fiction simply become a part of everyday life.

People keep asking what prompted me to study/write a book about Black-owned bookstores and the honest answer really is that I’m just nosey. I heard Black booksellers were going THROUGH IT in the ‘60s and I just wanted to know they business. I just wanted the tea, in all honesty.

Really, how close is your phone while writing? No judgement! Make it work for you. ⏰ Set an alarm for a prompt, labeled with the hook/phrase you want to develop. 🗓️ Schedule that line out, by using your calendar to schedule writing time. ✍️ 🎙️Use your notes/voice memos to get started.
