as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did

You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

I do this too, I call it the compost pile. Occasionally I turn the pile over and see if any darlings have turned into useful worms or nutrients for the story as it has progressed.

Or sometimes they turn into whole new stories by themselves. Volunteer story in my compost heap.

i feel like i’m cursed forever but other than that i’m doing alright
