Yes, I'm doing the whimsical & whacky & MeBrady is going to be the "Editor" of Starlight Compass, my fictional world's newspaper. My world building is immersive & interactive ๐ I'm setting up an email & there will be a letter to the editor section of the paper. I've been toying with the concept ever since I had a DM asking if I would be accepting advertisement requests for my paper. An eager indie author wanting their book featured in my newspaper already ๐ฅฐ Starlight Compass Spring Edition will be dropping very soon ;) #StarlightCompass #StarlightCove #NewportMills #WorldBuilding #authorlife #authors #writerscommunity #writersociety #writerlife #amwritingportalmystery #portalfantasy #cozyfantasy #365grateful #365gratitude #writing #WritingCommunity #igauthor #igwriter #igwrites #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf5al4PbO0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There's something very interesting to me about the technical methods they developed in the last days before the fall of the typewriter gave way to the rise of the word processor. My fascination with the IBM selectrics and their varied and curious little type elements is no secret at this point but it's worth mentioning that they weren't the only innovation when electric typewriters were en vogue.ย
Enter: The Daisy Wheel. These flat diskettes typically contained 96 characters (much like the later Selectric 3 elements) and boasted the ability to print type up to 3 times faster than that of typical IBM electric typewriters. While I cannot personally attest to this claim I can say that I have found them to provide a much quieter typing experience than the selectrics or comparable Smith Corona machines. In fact, once you get over the nagging expectation of thrashing percussion there's almost a calming, white noise effect to it that really makes you wish they'd been produced in smaller portable sizes that don't claim an entire workspace.ย
But for those entrepid typists who've got space to spare and an affinity for tactile tactics executed quickly, quietly and qwerty you can start your new addiction with this awesome Daisy wheel diskette specifically for brother typewriters.ย
The typeface on this daisy wheel diskette is "Prestige 1012" which is clean and professional and might be best suited for business or more formal submissions. This daisy wheel has been inspected, cleaned and tested for for full use and functionality.ย Before purchasing please be advised that Daisy wheels can be machine specific so do your research prior to purchase.ย
The wheel of progress kills fascists.

โMy motto was that a poker face was the best face for a reporter. Despite that, I could feel my eyebrows inching up to my hairline as Sister Cortez described the churchโs attempt to lay some blame for the abuse scandal at the feet of the women who served the church selflessly. Felt like the Vatican was looking in all the wrong places. Instead of searching for bogeymen in the sacristy, they were looking for dirty laundry in the convent. I knew some reporters at the Boston Globe who could and had pointed the churchโs bishops in the right direction.โ โBlake Hardin Tatum, blogger โfrom Without Consent, coming March 2023 #preorder #thrillerย #thrillerbooksย #thrillerreadsย #thrillersย #thrilleraddictย #thrillernovelย #thrillerreaders #amazonkindle #applebooks #kobo #ebook #greatread #mustread #nook #novel #reading #booklove #booktastic #readmore #igauthors #whattoread #suspense #instareads #newbooks #domesticthriller #springtbr (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPs5YcJp7x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don't ask me how to convert those measurements on a 6x9 in paperback though, I haven't tried it and I don't want to go through the trouble figuring it out. I'll stick to writing 5x8 inch paperbacks, thanks ๐ #formatting #paperback #kdp #margins #selfpublishingtips #WritingCommunity #writersofig #writersofinstagram #igwriters #instagramwriters #authors #authorsofig #igauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/CFJxxScgepk/?igshid=1kh1pz9e5stu1

As I embark on a new short story for an anthology to be released early 2020, I keep thinking of this quote. There might be a lot of unknowns with putting the first words to the page, but also a lot of promise. โ

What's better than being able to share in someone else's joy? That's the way I feel every time I am engaged for a service call on a machine that I absolutely love. Last month I was contracted to perform cleaning and service work on this handsome 1974 Smith Corona Galaxie II by Colleen aka @soulmagic.healing on IG.
When she presented the machine it was in good aesthetic and mechanical condition but wore a layer of age, eraser shavings and correction fluid that kept it looking like a diamond in the rough.
After some time on the bench I was able to return it to fighting shape; with gleaming plates, shiny typebars and super snappy action. I hope that this one stays in Colleens care for generations and always finds her with eager fingers and never ending inspiration.
Working through some client machines but also have some exciting stuff coming to the shop on the retail end, stay tuned!

Let's play two truths and a lie bookish edition.๐๐ Guess my lie and post your own below! ๐1. Sarah J Maas is my favourite author. ๐2. I own more paperbacks than hardbacks. ๐3.
