I just returned from Turkey moments ago, only to learn of another 6.4 magnitude earthquake which hit precisely the region I & my Humanity First team are in.💔
Though now sleeping in tents in the cold, the Humanity First remains on the ground to serve & save lives. We plan to stay as long as humanely possible. We are immensely grateful for your support to continue this critical work.❤️

Writing tip: Write what you know? Absolutely. But also write what you DON'T know.
If authors only wrote about what they knew we wouldn't have dragons, spies, or love triangles (or very few of them 😉).
Writing tip: Understanding what your character's arc is will help you enormously. Where do they start and where do you want them to go? What challenges do they face along the way? Map it out.

Writing Tip: When writing dialogue try not to strive for realistic (ie: how people talk in real life). Instead, aim for authentic (make sure characters speak like the characters should, make sure dialogue is consistent with the world you're building)
Hey, I'm not brave enough for Twitter, but if you are, could you tell PM Trudeau, POTUS, and all of the US and Canadian public servants who communicate to the public on Twitter to open accounts on Mastodon so we can have equal access?
It's not fair that we have to subject ourselves to that Hellscape in order to have the same access to our elected officials and representatives as Twitter users.
THANK YOU.
Writing tip: The blank page is not your enemy, it is the canvas on which you will paint something altogether new; a clean slate where anything is possible. Throw yourself into the blankness without fear or reservation.
