Love this post from The Phare (a UK based literary magazine) re: William Faulkner on reading.

I've tossed a great many books against the wall rather than out the window, but the reason for it was the same.

This #book changed me! The chapters are standalone stories and as a compilation they critique "the system" psy-complex, mental health, sanity, all the things. I can't say enough about how powerful this text is! Diverse #authors Living all over the globe experiencing insanity or sanity or a combination of the two! #GoodWriting #writers #readers

I have close relationships with a few of the authors but their chapters were a surprise to me!

Because the book is newly-released, some online booksellers don’t have it listed on their sites yet; some sites are quicker than others with such things. But it’s already available on the Amazon and Barnes & Noble sites.

Local brick-and-mortar booksellers can also order it for customers via the Ingram distribution catalogue, and customers whose mailing addresses are in the USA can order it direct from Autonomous Press.

After Harry Kane missed his PK in Qatar, this #soccer fan shut off his obsession with #football. What he learned from 6 weeks of abstinence is truly inspiring. I especially liked his description of Tottenham’s South Stand as a “diagonal sheet of humanity”. #goodwriting

How I went cold turkey and quit football https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/apr/01/will-i-be-happier-if-i-erase-football-from-my-life-how-i-went-cold-turkey-and-quit-the-beautiful-game

Today's Free Proofreading Tip from a Pro:
If you're naming someone along with their title, the title should only be capitalized before the name.

President of the United States Joe Biden

but

Joe Biden, president of the United States

(Also don't capitalize "president" on its own: "The president gave a speech.")

Generally speaking, err on the side of lowercase. I take down way more unnecessary caps than I put up incorrect lowercase.

Thank you for not saying "begs the question," as that is frequently misused and you didn't succumb.

Willow returns in excellent first episodes of new Disney fantasy series. Warwick Davis is perfect and daughter Annabelle Davis's character deserves her own spin-off show.

“Even as a child, Frank had recognized that black hole of incurably stupid. It amazed him and left him flabbergasted. Later, when he saw it in other faces, it would come to scare him and anger him. … Stupid like that had its own gravitational field. It pulled at you.” *Sleeping Beauties,* Stephen and Owen King. #books #goodwriting #writing #amreading
