This thread has probably helped absolutely no one, but with everyone posting about getting full requests etc, I thought I'd do a little subtle bragging too. 😇 (6/6)

....and find out that the sound got cut because of cOpyRiGhT rEsTriCtiOnS (that make no sense because part of the song IS available on TikTok) it's wasted, it's infuriating. This is time I will never get back. (3/4)

Is 3rd person present tense too alienating to use? 3rd person past seems more traditional, but...I'm kind of on the fence w this one. I keep going back and editing my chapters to make them 3rd person past...or first person present...but I keep coming back to 3rd person present😭

These anti-mask bills are just insane. People aren’t going around robbing places in medical masks. That isn’t a thing. We don’t have ER bandits out there terrorizing America. Not liking people or what they believe is no reason to ban harmless behavior. This is not a debate.

…far below grade school level. All of the sentences had something wrong w them—comma splices, confusing run-ons, clichés. There was no spark, no voice. It was honestly the worst writing I saw in my time there. Looking back, though, we should probably have signed them. Bc… (2/6)
