Thursday Thought #CharlieMackesy

A woman drawing on an iPad with an Apple pencil. Caption: When I give art lessons, people are always saying, ‘But I can’t draw,’ and I say, ‘What do you mean by that?’ They say, ‘Well, I can’t draw like you.’ And I say, ‘But you’re not me. So why don’t you draw from who you are? Just speak your own voice and enjoy it. Don’t try to be like Damien Hirst or don’t try to be like me. Try to just be who you are.’ ~Charlie Mackesy

Monday Muddle: set up, setup

LC January 18, 2021 Monday Muddle

If you can logically place a word between “set” and “up”, you need a space. For example, you can say that you need to set up the computer, and wonder whether there should be a space or not. But you can also say that you need to set the computer up. Now it’s obvious that you need the space. Either way, once you finish the job, you’ll have a great computer setup.

Monday Muddle: set up: (phrasal verb) arrange; construct; organize; make ready for use; start (a business) setup: (noun, adjective) organization, organizational; preparation, preparatory As a noun, setup is the result of setting something up. (e.g. a great camera setup) As an adjective, setup describes something that will be used in setting something up. (e.g. use the setup checklist)

Wednesday Writing

LC January 13, 2021 Wednesday Writing

Writers, do you set word count targets? Do you set goals for amount of time spent writing instead? If yes to either, do you set your targets per day, per week, per month, or per year? Or do you just write and take it as it comes?
