GUYS I GOT HUGE NEWS
I have a website now! I already have a few pieces of art listed, and I'll add more art and writings as I go along. Please please check it out!
Hi there! Welcome to Nerdy Chaos Gremlin Creations! I'm Nerdy Chaos Gremlin, but you can just call me Bee. I do art and writing. I'm so glad
Also, please do not listen to how people talk about cover letters on this site. Cover letters are important, and in many industries you can be damn sure they'll be read. And no, they're not 'fanfic about working in your office', or just re-stating the resume contents in a fancier guise. If you treat them like that, then of course they're not doing much for you. That makes you sound like a syncophantic windbag, and it's not doing anything else to help.
I was trained in the dark arts of the cover letter by my mother, who is a hiring manager. And her training has paid off: I've been consistently told my cover letters are excellent. Let me pass on the wisdom.
The job of a cover letter is to give a prospective employer strictly more information than is on the resume. This is where you take the resume contents and put them into context. You look at the job requirements (you are looking at the job requirements before applying, right?) and look at your resume and ask the question (in your head) "why would a person think this candidate would be good for this job?" and your cover letter is the answer to that question. If you don't answer that question, the hiring manager is going to have to do it themselves, and you have way more information to work with than they do.
This is especially important if you're moving from one industry to another, because then the relevant connections aren't obvious. It's also very important if you're overqualified, because then you can use the letter to say "I know it looks like this job would be too entry-level for me, but I'm interested to pursue it for reasons x, y, and z". You can also use this space to explain away something that might otherwise be disqualifying, like job-hopping or a long break in employment. The tone to strike here is always matter-of-fact and constrained to topic - don't go into detail about health stuff or personal tragedy, just tell them what they need to hear: that this period of your resume was affected by [bad thing] but that it's now in the past and you're looking forward to the next chapter. Remember, one of the things they're trying to learn is whether you'd be content in this role, or whether you'd be miserable and leave after 2 months, which would force them to do all the work of hiring again. You're trying to establish that you will fit right in and not cause problems. Knowing what drew you to this job in particular (and don't just say 'money', that's true for everyone) helps with that.
And the other mistake? Everyone writes cover letters that are too long. One page is fine. Two is the absolute maximum, and that's if you have a lot of specific things to say. It's a waste of your time and theirs to pad it out with fluff. Of my two most recent successful cover letters (i.e. jobs for which I was interviewed) one was 390 words and the other was 550. That's the length of this post. How long did it take me to write this post? About 15 minutes to write, 5 to proof and edit. That's how long you should be spending on a cover letter, maximum.
OH MY GOSH will somebody please just infodump about the accepted Haunted Mansion lore (canon or otherwise)?? I want to know what the full story is cause it’s super interesting to me (it’s my favorite Disney ride) but there’s not one complete story anywhere that I can find. Pleassee someone explain to me

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
…friends.
"But I don't like the ending/the character/the plot point. I would have done it differently."
Yes. Good. Go get a pen. This is where it begins.

There needs to be some sort of group or database where you can put in the crazy things you had to google for a writing project, and what the answer was. So we can make up a a big ol’ database of random/questionable/specific tidbits for writers to reference.
Reblog with something you had to look up for writing, and what the answer was. (Bonus for context)
I’ll start:
Q: What kind of wall could a tennis ball make a hole in if thrown by a normal person?
A: Damaged or unsupported drywall.
Context: …a normal person throws a tennis ball at a wall and makes a hole 🤷♀️
The premise of The Good Place would’ve made a really good Twilight Zone episode.
Just googled it and ur so right!
I mean sometimes it was because you asked them to
