Stories don't have to begin at the beginning. When writing, begin anywhere. Maybe you already know the ending. Maybe there's a big battle that you can picture in your mind. Maybe it's a moment of romance. Get the words out, no matter where they end up in your story.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Hey Bluesky do you have recs for general maths books that would be friendly towards neurodivergent kids, preferably with illustrations?
We are trying to learn equivalent fractions and the usual metaphors of pies and slices of pies are just not what kiddo needs

This is the way. A lot of writers' block stems from the belief that you MUST write scenes in sequence.

Plumber confirmed that the fuses blowing yesterday was due to the water heater and we need a new water heater. I did find the fuse for the water heater itself so we're good heating wise
(last night we had no light or heating in half the flat, which is less fun).
Wheee
Please buy my books?

I'm sure that a "Happiness is Mandatory" policy is indicative of a desirable workplace, yeah?
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.
