Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i made the hourly #planner of my dreams for fall 🍁🍂 (because sooo many either have one or two things but not the other or they're PLAIN af 😭). this guy is available on my #Etsy as an instant download printable (or digital file!) royalazaleaprintshop.etsy.com/listing/4584... 011
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Good writing isn't about removing complexity, especially if it's a complex topic. It's about removing unnecessary jargon. ❌ "Light undergoes refraction as it traverses media with different indices of refraction." ✅ "Light bends when it moves from one material, like air, into another, like water." 000
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 03/09/2026hii, it's officially cozy season in MY house (ignoring the 90 degree weather...) SO, i made an autumn-themed #ESL teaching bundle. i think it's really cute, i love it www.etsy.com/listing/4567... 🍂🍁 #EFL #TEFL #EnglishLanguageResources #EnglishLanguageTeaching 001
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Instead of naming the emotion, try to describe what's happening in the body or the scene. ❌ "He was anxious over the email." ✅ "His coffee went cold while trembling hands rewrote the email for the fourth time." Specific details carry emotional weight! 000
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 27/08/2026One editing question worth asking: "Could our biggest competitor yoink and publish this unchanged?" If the answer is yes, that's usually a sign to add specifics that reflect how you see the world. 100

Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 19/08/2026currently reading Violets by Shin Kyung-Sook 💐it's giving me the same vibes as Morisaki Bookshop, but totally different (if that makes sense LOL). i like SKS's books, Please Look After Mom and I Went to See My Father were amazing 000
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Contrary to popular belief, passive voice is a tool, not a flaw! The key question is whether it serves the reader or simply avoids naming who's doing the action. 000

Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Just finished the first of the Finlay Donovan series! I can't WAIT to get to book 2, but all of the books I had on hold in Libby decided to become available at once LOL 001
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I am a certified #TEFL teacher, but unable to teach now. I LOVE everything about language learning, though, so I'm creating a series of learning materials for adults that other #ESL teachers might find useful for first-time or last-minute lessons. More to come in time 💛 www.etsy.com/shop/RoyalAz... 000
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 13/08/2026A paragraph that looks manageable gets read. A paragraph that looks exhausting gets postponed. 🗣️📢Shorter paragraphs are less about style and more about courtesy to both the person on a smaller screen and the person who lives with a processing disorder! 100

Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now? 32497893124
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I started The Garden this week and it totally pulled me out of my reading slump (was hitting 3 months very soon lol). Eerie little stories, you have never failed me 😭🙏🏽 000
Bria @seshatediting.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Not to say that *every* "in order to" is wrong. Be concise, but be smart! Nuance is just as important as that quick scan 🧐 121
Reposted by BriaIndie Book Spotlight @bookspotlight.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I don’t laugh when I see those news articles about how 32/35 students failed an exam for using AI. That makes me so sad. An entire generation who largely does not value learning. That’s not funny, that’s an indictment on society and people should be ashamed of themselves. 39018
