I wanted to double check that “The Cherry on Top” was a short novel or novella and I found this on uphillwriting.org. I think it’s very informative and hopefully you guys will find it useful!
For all my writers struggling with weaponry of the sword variety.

Bend Your Mind With Special Relativity
Ever dreamed of traveling nearly as fast as light? Zipping across the universe to check out the sights seems like it could be fun. But, not so fast. There are a few things you should know before you jump into your rocket. At near the speed of light, the day-to-day physics we know on Earth need a few modifications. And if you’re thinking Albert Einstein will be entering this equation, you’re right!
We live our daily lives using what scientists call Newtonian physics, as in Isaac Newton, the guy who had the proverbial apple fall on his head. Imagine that you are on a sidewalk, watching your friend walk toward the front of a bus as it drives away. The bus is moving at 30 mph. Your friend walks at 3 mph. To you, your friend is moving at 33 mph — you simply add the two speeds together. (The 30 mph the bus is moving plus 3 mph that your friend is moving inside the bus.) This is a simple example of Newtonian physics.
However, imagine that your friend on the bus turns on a flashlight, and you both measure the speed of its light. You would both measure it to be moving at 670 million mph (or 1 billion kilometers per hour) — this is the speed of light. Even though the flashlight is with your friend on the moving bus, you still both measure the speed of light to be exactly the same. Suddenly you see how Einstein’s physics is different from Newton’s.
This prediction was a key part of Einstein’s special theory of relativity: The speed of light is the same for any observer, no matter their relative speed. This leads to many seemingly weird effects.
Before talking about those surprising effects, it’s good to take a moment to talk about point of view. For the rest of this discussion, we’ll assume that you’re at rest — sitting in one spot in space, not moving. And your friend is on a rocket ship that you measure to be traveling at 90% the speed of light. Neither of you is changing speed or direction. Scientists give this a fancy name — an “inertial frame of reference.”
With the stage set, now we can talk about a couple of super-weird effects of traveling near the speed of light. Relativity messes with simple things like distance and time, doing stuff that might blow your mind!
Let’s say you have a stick that is 36 inches long (91 centimeters). Your friend on the rocket doesn’t know the stick’s length, so they measure it by comparing it to a ruler they have as they zoom past you. They find your stick is just 16 inches (40 centimeters) long — less than half the length you measured! This effect is called length contraction. And if they were moving even faster, your friend would measure your stick to be even shorter. The cool thing about relativity is that both of those measurements are right! We see these effects in particle physics with fast-moving particles.
If your friend was traveling to our nearest neighbor star, Proxima Centauri, how far would they think it was? From Earth, we measure Proxima Centauri to be 4.2 light-years away (where one light-year is the distance light travels in a year, or about 5.8 trillion miles). However, your friend, who is traveling at 90% the speed of light in the rocket, would measure the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri to be just over 1.8 light-years.
That’s just length … let’s talk about time!
Now let’s say you and your friend on the rocket have identical synchronized clocks. When your friend reaches Proxima Centauri, they send you a signal, telling you how long their trip took them. Their clock says the trip took just over two years. Remember, they measure the distance to be 1.8 light-years. However, you would see that your clock, which stayed at rest with you, says the trip took 4.7 years — more than twice as long!
This effect is called time dilation — time on moving clocks appears to tick slower.
None of this accounts for your friend accelerating their rocket or stopping at Proxima Centauri. All of this math gets more complicated if you and your friend were speeding up, slowing down, or changing directions. For instance, if your friend slowed down to stop at Proxima Centauri, they would have aged less than you on their trip!
Now you’re ready for a few tips on near-light-speed travel! Watch the video below for more.
Now, if you need to relax a bit after this whirlwind, near-light-speed trip, you can grab our coloring pages of scenes from the video. And if you enjoyed the trip, download a postcard to send to a friend. Finally, if you want to explore more of the wonders of the universe, follow NASA Universe on Facebook and Twitter.

Thoughts on Trayvon Martin
Over the course of the last few weeks I like so many others have been following the story of Trayvon Martin. This case seems to frustrate so many and isolate even more. The true travesty of this tragedy seems to be that although Barrack Obama is the sitting President of the United States racial tension continues to bubble. The black community has felt the strain over the last eighteen months of horrendous proposed voters registration law, and a level of decorum towards the commander and chief never exhibited before. This case has become so polarizing because for all it is a tragedy, but within the black community it brings to light a great fear that has not been seen by many young people. This world is unfairly slated towards a certain aesthetic.
What seems to be a sore spot for so many is that (although some deny it) that is the races were reversed their would have been an arrest. People outside or not closely associated with our community do not seem to or want to understand the exhaustion of constantly to an unnatural degree being aware of tone, clothing, gestures, and facial expression. On more than one occasion I have been told that I should smile while doing routine things like standing in line at the grocery store. My general demeanor of minding my own business is not being conducive to a calm atmosphere.
What makes this so damning is the implication that because I am not smiling that somehow I must be dangerous. This is the very thing that has been implied about Trayvon’s attire that his clothing and skin made someone afraid. That is the true seed of racism that just by merely existing that an individual can cause someone undue stress that is then justifies a murder. Over and over again the white community has failed to see the disparities plaguing our country.
Their is a reason that the Civil Rights activist had to fight for the rights to sit at lunch counters. Yet in history class no one ever addresses that their was another side fighting against them, and I am fairly certain that they did not just disappear after the 1960’s. In fact just by simple deduction one should be able to realize that the people throwing rocks and shouting profanity were not all in the the Ku Klux Klan. These are the people that raised the people I grew up with. Now call me crazy, but I am fairly sure that veracity does not go away just because a law changed. (Anyone who disagrees must be sniffing glue). Though this is exactly the story we are fed that we live in a post racial world. In spite that this is the first official generation to grow up and know nothing but “equality.”
Trayvon’s life and tragic death cuts deeply into a community that just four years ago seemed to think everything was turning around. This is not about a hoodie or who threw the first punch. It is much deeper than that and if Zimmerman is not arrested and tried we may force our country backwards. To a point were civil distrust leads to vigilante justice. Whether intentional or not the Sanford Police department is sending a message to our citizens of all colors that your life does not matter. I do not know about anyone else but I really do not like that.
*Sorry if it is to long.
I wrote this years ago and it feels eerily relevant now.

going thru phone pics and found this thing that was tacked up next to the toaster at my old job, if anyone needs some light toast eating reading material
[EDIT 9/30/17] hey there! i wasnt expecting this to cover so much ground and help so many people! if you need this in pdf (typed) format, with an extra page about panic attacks, you can find it here. take care of yourselves.
“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.
“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement.
“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”
“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”
Things I didn’t know
“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”
You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

Hello! I hope you're well! I was wondering, do you have some advice for the best-friends-to-lovers trope? My characters have been best friends since childhood and start living together but I have trouble getting the romance going as they're already very affectionate towards each other.
I’ve written quite a few articles surrounding the subject that I thought might be helpful, so I’ve linked them below :)
