I've got a writing book problem: When I have a book writing problem, I pick up a writing book, and since writing is hard I've read dozens of writing books in the last decade. This is my attempts to make sense of them.

Anything worth doing is worth half-assing

Hi friends. This TedTalk about cleaning made me cry this week. But is also reminded me that getting started is more important than getting it perfect. And that anything worth doing is worth half-ass...

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.

skáld @danglinghemmie.bsky.social · 2d

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

On a deeply personal note:

CW: eating disorder

If you have struggled with disordered eating in the past and are now dealing with food insecurity, it is really important to seek support. It is so, so easy to fall into unhealthy patterns when self-denial is involved. Don’t white knuckle it.

Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 22h

Last thing: if you’re in the position to need this advice, don’t deny yourself small pleasures. First, psychologically, restricting yourself makes it more likely you will have a fraught moment and spend more than you want. But more importantly:

You are living through a shitshow.

This is not something I want to do, but as someone who was food insecure for a long time, here are some ways to get the most out of what you can get.

-if you have dietary restrictions or food aversions, spend some time thinking about what foods are safe. It sounds obvious, but—

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.

I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

I know this is a month out, but put it in your calendar.

Every year, strongtowns.org requests pics of Black Friday parking lots, because the argument for very large parking lots is “We need it for surge capacity.” It’s a questionable argument at best, and Black Friday is THE surge capacity day.

What Does Your Next #BlackFridayParking Look Like?

Each Black Friday, we invite people to participate in the Strong Towns movement by sharing pictures of parking in their communities that is excessive or underused — even on the busiest shopping day of...

A wild rough draft appears!

In today's #WritingabtWriting I turned last week's outline into text and discovered new details in the writing. How often do you discover something totally unexpected about your story in your first draft?

Spiral Story - Rough Draft 1

Rough draft time. My goal at this stage is to get words on paper, whether that's in a notebook or digitally.

If I walk into a used bookstore, watch or a fountain pen shop and the person doing repairs isn't surly/odd/monosyllabic then I'm walking right back out again. Bad customer service is a mark of superior service.

Things that have helped me recently:
1) little things still matter
2) the power of a solid meal, a big glass of water, and a good night's sleep
3) remembering how much words of encouragement or a compliment meant after a tough day
4) action is the enemy of despair
5) I can do things through spite
