I helped a student with their research!!

🚨 Today I learned

Apparently the 'note' field at the bottom of someone's profile is private to you, & you can add a wee note to remind yourself about them

Such as the reason you first followed is b/c they collect mushrooms or love black garlic or something else not listed in their bio or otherwise obvious 😊

Or perhaps you unfollowed them b/c you love their stuff, but they post too frequently & you need to remind yourself not to get sucked in again 😵

Help your brain! 💪

Today in #TheWritersRoom I wrote three pages of my WIP. Required a deep research dive and it's mostly description and laying breadcrumbs for a plot thread that will surface later. Very happy with the results for a #FirstDraft. Now to run errands because #WritersGottaLive too.

Tomorrow on my Friday AM live webcast, we're talking about why the coming election IS more urgent than many elections past.

Democracy IS on the ballot.

Today's #microprompt: BOTTOMLESS

Reply to this toot with:

+ A story that contains the prompt word (derivations and tense changes ok), or
+ An excerpt from your current WIP that contains the prompt word.

The only rule: keep it to a single toot. And maybe one more: try to look through the other replies!

Feel free to send me prompt word ideas :) Otherwise I'm just going through the alphabet!
