These are amazing, and you should get some. Some of the ones I received are heart-shaped! As a reminder, these are useful for many situations; they're loud and can carry far, which can be much more effective than yelling.

Friendly reminder to those looking to gift/get lessons: Gig hire sites (lessons .com, thumbtack, etc.) often charge the teacher $20+ just to respond. Most teachers have all necessary info in their profiles; maybe contacted offsite w/ better rates. Please don't kick tires. You & them will be happier!

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 65: Freelance? Respect other freelancers. Editors, illustrators, designers - all the people who help make your book the best it can be - deserve to be acknowledged and paid. This community works on symbiosis, not exploitation. Without it, we all go under.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 6336675: You have to actually WANT to write. The world is filled with would-be writers fantasising about lunch with agents, foreign tours, prizes, six-figure book deals, meeting movie stars. But that’s all mostly fiction. None of it makes you a writer.
