Unsolicited writing advice, no. 18167:

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 4783: Place affects every aspect of a story. It shapes your characters, their relationships, their habits, their clothing, their culture, their food. Try thinking of place as a character, and count all the ways you can make your human characters interact with it.

I’m not aware we have to choose?? This is so lovely.

Now plugged into Swiftie news, I discover Travis Kelce’s fiancée is subject of a credible death threat and her team are on high security alert. He’s not a good compartamentaliser, as we have previously seen. He plays with all his emotions affecting him. #chiefskingdom
