were things better at the start
before we knew
there was a limit

Tons of industry pros (agents, editors, artists) are donating items, so spread the word to writers and illustrators who want professional help on their project. Opportunities like this come very rarely to get feedback from this caliber of professionals. Plus it supports worthy organizations.

The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

‘Do you like your job?’

‘Yeah, I’m a writer.’

‘You any good at it?’

‘The key to good writing is to use clever words meant to #obfuscate their true meaning.’

‘Oh? So, what? You’re like a poet or something?’

‘No. I write instructions for assembling furniture.’
