I forget who it was on :tootplanet: who was looking for Scrivener but couldn't afford it... you might be interested in AtomicScribbler, which has nearly the same features (a bit simpler, which can be a blessing!) and recently went entirely free: https://www.atomicscribbler.com/

Are there any folks in the Fediverse who make homemade fizzy bath bombs? I'm teaching myself and would be keen to hear any tips and starter recipes! Trawling through Reddit and Pinterest for ideas tonight. #bathbombs #bathfizzers

The #Python3 course I'm doing makes a case for all Python programmers being Slytherins because they're learning to talk to snakes.

This is the best and silliest thing ever, I love it.

A tip for other writers who suffer from THE FEAR: I'm using a timer (Tomighty Timer http://tomighty.org/ -- open-source, obnoxious, can make a tick-tock noise, harder to ignore than web timers) and timing editing sprints in a spreadsheet and it's helping a lot.

Separating my wordcount goals for drafting and editing helped a lot. Shooting for 3k/hour editing keeps away the brain weasels.

I learned this from Chris Fox's "5,000 Words an Hour" (free on his site).

Hey Mastodon, here is a quote that I needed and maybe you did too:

"WRITE IT BADLY. Write it badly, write it badly, write it badly, write it badly. Stop what you’re doing, open a Word document, put a pencil on some paper, just get the idea out of your head. Let it be good later. Write it down now. Otherwise it will die in there."

— Brandon Sanderson on overcoming writer’s block to create a first draft as a professional author

Oh heck I just found out about ceilidh.space and my mind is blown by the idea of a Scottish Gaelic/Gaidhlig-friendly Mastodon instance and how powerful Mastodon could be as a language learning tool, particularly for smaller languages without good learning resources.
