The truth is, the person who pretends to advise, does, in that particular, exercise a superiority over us, and can have no other reason for it, but that, in comparing us with himself, he thinks us defective either in our conduct or our understanding. For these reasons, there is nothing so difficult as the art of making advice agreeable and indeed all the writers, both ancient and modern, have distinguished themselves among one another, according to the perfection at which they have arrived in this art.

5 Reasons Your Writing SUCKS (Plus How To Fix It)
Newsflash: Your Writing SUCKS So, the bad news: your writing sucks and you need to fix it. Every single day Google brings writers to this blog using the search phrase my writing sucks. Supersadface. Look, its not unusual to believe your writing sucks. It may even be true. While I

Glenn Kirschner: "When you care about something deeply, and you see it going horrifically wrong, exhaustion is inevitable. But I found that the best antidote to exhaustion is engagement, participation, standing up, speaking out, staying strong, rallying, marching, protesting. Engaging."
Hivemind: cross-country move advice:
I have my bass guitar, small amp, acoustic guitar, full-size electric piano keyboard.
I'm not a serious musician on any of them, and none are terribly expensive, but I'd rather they not get damaged or stolen (replacement cost).
I'm inclined (especially now that it seems I will have a car-top carrier!) to bring those with me in the car rather than having them be packed in the U-Haul pods.
I would put them in the car, not in the car-top carrier (probably just clothes in the car-top box). My car has tinted rear windows so it's not that easy to see in the back, and I would cover them with some ratty blanket.
Thoughts My friend feels like I'm better off putting them in the moving pods (she's much more wary than I am of car break-ins), but I'm more inclined to bring them with me in the car.

Never write a story to a target length write it to the length it needs to be to tell its story well. I crippled one of my best stories by trying to squeeze it into the wrong length.
Never write a story to a specific market if they don't take it, you'll have to rewrite it.

Stop Apologising And Be You
Great Australian Pods Podcast Directory:
There are some questions it's impolite to ask, because it's likely that people don't want to think about or share the answer. Questions like "do they pay you more than me" or "how often do you masturbate". And I think that's a reasonable "rule of etiquette" to follow, because personal questions can be awkward.
However: if someone else makes the situation awkward for you, then this rule is off the table. When someone is overstepping their boundaries or consent, you can and *should* break this rule. Go right for the gut: "are you saying that because I'm a woman would you treat a man the same way" etc.
Either they're overstepping on purpose, in which case you should call them out in public, or they're overstepping by accident, in which case the situation is already awkward and you may as well take the opportunity to course-correct.

11 creative exercises you can do in five minutes or less via Creative Bloq Shared
Creativity is a muscle that needs to be worked, but it can be hard to find time for creative exercises, particularly if their not part of your profession. So many people say they would love to be more creative and to develop art or design skills if only there weren't so many other things to do.
Having to the time to study from the best art books and to take online art classes is ideal. But there are things you can do to train your eye and build that creative muscle in micro doses, and they can be surprisingly satisfying.
