Being Gray Ace Is Funny Bc Like. I’m Bisexual But Only When I Can Be Bothered

Me: I’m so tired

Him: you just took a 3 hour nap

Me: napping is hard work for me

To the fandom:

No, Nesta does not, in fact, need to get kicked in the throat, shouted at or get her ass beaten. No Azriel should not give her a good ass kicking in ACSF. And this, no matter what she did in the past, no matter what she said to Feyre. 

If you believe this is how it should go… If you believe that because Nesta was abusive in the first chapters of ACOTAR, then it excuses you suggesting verbal and physical abuse on a traumatised 25 year old fictional character to whom real people relate, then unfollow me and never set your foot near my blog ever again. 

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

Today on Weird Things My Coworkers Have Said:

“Here’s the real question: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or just toast crunch?”

This is a friendly reminder to never, ever publish your book with a publishing company that charges you to publish with them. That is a vanity press, which makes money by preying on authors. They charge you for editing, formatting, cover art, and more. With most of these companies, you will never seen a cent of any royalties made from sale of your book. A legitimate publishing company only makes money when you make money, they will never charge you to publish with them. If a company approaches you and says "Hey, we'll publish your book, just pay us X amount of money," tell them to go fuck themself and block them.
