Dandelions are so helpful to our ecosystems - plus that bright yellow is a wonderful blast of colour. If you really don't want them in your lawn/yard please wait until the flower die before removing them. #writerFuel
Life enhancing plants like Dandelions that feed Bees and pollinate crops that people eat are called weeds and regarded as worthless and in Spring time, millions of people will go into a frenzy to try and kill them with pesticides Leave the Dandelions alone

Nice to see that support of these super established businesses! Goes to show, even when you're not the youngest business on the block, people may still find you New! #writerFuel
We made our first delivery ever to Jackson's Meat and Deli on West 4th. They're older than we are! Looking good for being 112 years old 😉 #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood

Really good advice about how to screen potential clients. #FreelanceWriter these ARE NOT your people! I would also add that they expect you to use all 6 (8, 10) of their internal tools. #writerFuel
4 red flags that should make you say “no thanks” to a potential client: 🚩They’ve “never worked with a good freelancer before” 🚩 They don’t give content briefs 🚩 They ask you to check in constantly 🚩 They won’t pay a deposit What would you add?

How many #freelancewriter folk find it hard to read a book for pleasure without *snorting*, eye-rolling, laughing when you find typos and or repeated words, etc. ??? #ItsACurse #WriterFuel

I took a #TwitterBreak and I could have done it better. I continued to look and check in, but didn't post. I think that defeated the purpose. What do you do to take a #SMbreak? #writerfuel
