Those who complain that I critique media for problems like fake objectivity that only serves the status quo—and helps shield obvious lies—may or may not be surprised that I was part of a Columbia Journalism School masters program started by Dr. James Carey, who is discussed here.

I have writing exercises and suggestions and fiction writing tips on my website. Good ones, if I do say so myself. Much can come out of them

I have an essay due. Where to start? Main thing is to stop not writing. Sit at desk. Stare bitterly at screen. Write badly. Butt in chair.

Remember, writing is hard, but we don't have to glorify busy to prove that. While it certainly comes with its own unique challenges, & many have to write AND work day jobs, writing isn't coal mining. It isn't the night shift on the line. It isn't being deployed far from family.

A first draft is just the writer telling the story to him- or herself; the later drafts are about telling the important parts of that story to someone else. x.com/Joi_the_Artist…
