I’m looking for fellow writers over the age of 30! Those chasing creative pursuits when we’re supposed to be in our “settled” years? lol don’t get me wrong, I 🖤 the youths, but as an almost 34 year old, there’s an understandable gap of relatability with them

Do have any recommendations on how to introduce the concept of “high pain days” or “low mobility days” without a lot of awkward questions? (Both in adult & child situations 😅)

I’m surprised at how much the death of Cheslie Kryst is hitting home for me. At 30 years old she lost her fight against depression. Rest in power Queen…

The worst part is he says they launched “quietly” 6 weeks ago & their Black partners were relentlessly harassed online so they’re no longer telling people who they’re working with to equate why these products cost so much.
@musicallaneous
I think part of the problem is that a lot of these movie musicals are not being marketed as such, so people go in fully unprepared & leave disappointed. I was shocked to learn that the new Wonka was a musical bc there’s barely a hint of it in any of the trailers.
It would be an amazing birthday present if

lol not saying my writing should be settled, merely remarking that a lot of people have said that your 30s are when you settle IN LIFE (ie knowing what you want to do with yours), while a lot of us are just starting to figure out in our 30’s. Nothing to do with my writing lol.

Spacey’s is more “alleged” than Johnny given that there was actual evidence & corroborated witness accounts. And secondly, the Fantastic Beasts movie that I’m referring to doesn’t come out until next year. Trust me, there’s time.

…that won’t fix the problem. People are buying physical books, reading them, then returning it. The retailer takes the book back, charges the author, putting them at a deficit & then some go as far as destroying the book instead of reselling it.
