✍️When my laptop went KAFLOOEY last week, I realized how much I depend on it and wondered what to do to prevent future work stoppages: 1️⃣ Buy a second laptop and sync it to the main one? 2️⃣ Add the Microsoft app on my cell phone? 3️⃣ Use the library's PC to access my accounts?

✍️I’ve been going full speed for a long time, and I need to slow down. One of my favorite content creators posted that she needs to pause to re-energize. And if she can (un)do it so can I. So here's self-care advice written by someone else🙂 Enjoy: writersdigest.com/be-inspire…

✍️We can't predict whether a post will go viral so don't pander to The Algorithm. Instead, write about what matters to YOU. It's great when your message spreads far and wide, but it’s also nice to know your writing will always find a home in the hearts of your loyal following.

✍🏼I thought this was meant to be funny: “I intentionally add mistakes to all my writing so that people won’t think I write with AI.” WHAATT??? Don’t alter your writing behavior for fear of being caught in a false-positive assessment dished out by a dumb heap of metal.
