• break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared
  
• fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)
• blunette is not a thing
• new speaker, new paragraph. please.
• “said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it
• use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.
• if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read
• follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs
• your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it
• i love u guys keep on trucking

I know theres a lot of writers following me and this is some solid advice folks

Great advice.

Thomas Hofeller was the mastermind behind REDMAP, the took used by Republican dirty-tricksters to redraw state electoral maps after the 2010 census in order to deliver state and federal legislative seats to Republicans even when the majority of people voted Democrats.

Hofeller was a secretive sociopath and had long been estranged from his daughter, Stephanie, a self-described anarchist who only discovered her father had died in 2018 when she read the obit pages of the New York Times. When Stephanie recovered her father’s possessions from his home, she came into possession of files detailing the REDMAP plans, files of the sort that he had long exhorted his co-conspirators not to create or retain.

Stephanie turned some of her father’s files over to the government watchdog Common Cause for use in a lawsuit over North Carolina’s redistricting; thanks to the frank admission of racially motivated voter suppression in Thomas’s files, the court found that NC’s redistricting was illegal.

Now, Stephanie has licensed all her father’s files under an unspecified Creative Commons license and dumped them on Google Drive for anyone to use, exhorting others to “download and distribute this material, at will. It’s yours (be nice).”
