I love delving into random elements of English in my editing work. Today, I've been pondering "ablaut reduplication", a rule that governs the order of vowels in phrases like "sing song", "dilly dally" and "bish bash bosh" - it's always "i", "a", "o"... #WritingCraft

anyway I don't believe in failed drafts, you don't call every stroke that carries you to the shore drowning do you

What a fine group to be a part of!

Hello followers new and old! 🤩 I am a Literary Fiction writer from Northern Ireland. You can buy my little book of short stories THE WOODEN HILL online or from your favourite bookshop. I have a new novel coming out in spring 2026 about an old lighthouse-keeper! www.amazon.co.uk/Wooden-Hill-...

Happy to join you all here after fleeing the uninhabitable Planet X, but if anyone has a direct line to the Bluesky accessibility team, I'd love to offer some feedback on how they could greatly improve the user experience for screen reader users.
