Do I Make Myself Clear?: Why Writing Well Matters | Harold Evans

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Part treatise on the importance of writing well and clearly and part reference guide with specific advice for improving writing. There‘s a lot of great and useful information here, but it was difficult to absorb much of it in an audiobook.

Words on the Move: Why English Won't - and Can't - Sit Still (Like, Literally) | John McWhorter

I challenged myself this year to really read more non-fiction … used to hover around 15-25% of my overall reading. My aim was around 50% and now I am at 46%… I‘m happy with that number and I‘m enjoying all the new things I‘m learning.

Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 7mo

Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark | Cecelia Watson

Perhaps there is a better way to communicate my feelings about this book… I never physically read an Alexis Hall book until this year. I loved their writing, and had listened to multiple audiobooks of AH books. When I first started reading one of Hall‘s books, I noticed the grammar wasn‘t “correct.” If I had read my first AH book, I may have never read another. I may have never finished that first book.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics Is style, that is perfectly clear and understandable, with great story telling, somehow less than because it‘s not written within the same rules as an academic paper? Not even all academic papers follow the same rules, so how can we hold works of fiction to those same standards. If an author‘s writing becomes unclear, unintelligible to you, now you have a problem. Until then, it‘s a stylistic choice. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (edited) 9mo

GingerAntics Hall writes the way people think. People talk the way they think. This shouldn‘t be “wrong.” It is only wrong by modern standards, as until modern times one could write as they chose as long as the point was clear. Maybe we need to return to that a little bit, especially when talking about literature. #CeceliaWatson #Semicolon #Grammar #AlexisHall #PushTheBoatOutHall (edited) 9mo
