Are there any free writing courses that you recommend as being worth the time?

A picture of a horse halter in a barn light which I find rather evocative 🤓

Children report gradually decreasing enjoyment of reading books. Maybe because #Literature including children’s books is oppressed by economic interests & “what sells” gets published instead of “what’s good”. The result is that children don’t enjoy books anymore as these don’t serve their interest

Many people suggested to make shorts or other video formats to promote my #writing. Mind you, I’m not trying to sell anything, I would like some feedback, that’s all. I made this YouTube short youtube.com/shorts/EeFEJ... obviously have no idea what I’m doing. Would love some tips on how to improve💜

NYC taxi drivers are absolutely horrible to women! It was the worst experience ever! Only men liked them. Praise Lyft and Uber as a way safer alternative

So many #billionaires use sociopathic tactics to accrue their fortunes and subsequent #power Remind me, why do we venerate them again..?

“According to a report published in The Lancet, 40% of dementia cases can be attributed to 12 modifiable risk factors: high blood pressure, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption infrequent social contact.” How are introverts supposed to modify the last one?😫

Do you sometimes feel drawn to certain #books 👀📚 for no other reason but that you are meant to read it? It is almost a magnetic 🧲which book do you remember being simply drawn to? Metamorphosis by Kafka for me #BooksWorthReading #readerscommunity

Betty Boop (Poop?) materialized in a bird poop on our car window. The punch line is my kids have no idea who Betty Poop is

Please tell me this is horse manure 🙄there’s gotta be a better way to succeed as author than this

I need to get this out of my system: traditional #publishing = gatekeeper that thwarts creativity. But I read a lot of self published works promoted on the formerly blue bird website and #Reddit. It’s absolute garbage. Irrespective of genre. Unreadable trash. Dressed up fanfic. What’s up with that?!
