100 days of productivity no. 1:

anyone interested in starting an online book club?
the feeling when you’re a writer and constantly bring it up in conversation with everyonen ranging from your mom to the postman, but the moment someone asks to see your writing you completly shut down
I never knew I needed characters with obnoxiously long and fancy sounding names in my life, but I really do need them.
If someone were to call me love or sweetheart, I would just die on the spot.
Why is no one talking about the Diviners series by Libba Bray? Where is the fandom?
Because this series is just soo dang good.
1920s New York combined with magical realism and a hella diverse cast? Yes please.
I mean, there's just so much diversity, the main cast alone consists of 2 jewish characters, a black guy, a gay fella, a chinese-irish girl with disability...
And the writing. Bray has such beautiful prose. Not to mention the fantastic character and world building and intriguing magic system.
2+ Months of Language Learning Prompts!
Sometimes it can be tricky to know what to learn if you are teaching yourself a language. Here are some ideas for what you can focus on learning each day for the first two months of learning a new language! I formatted it so there is the general topic for the day and then in parentheses are some ideas to get you started but you can definitely learn a lot more than what I’ve written down! These are just to help generate some ideas!
This definitely would move pretty quickly if you covered all this material in 2 months so you could definitely spend more time on each topic if you need! This would require quite a bit of time each day in order to learn it all. This could totally work for a 4 or 6-month challenge where you spend 2 or 3 days on each of the topics I listed if you don’t have enough time to cover each topic in just one day!
