In all the endless breathless fictionalized takes on Jack the Ripper, have we ever done the one where the reason he disappeared was because a team of vengeful Victorian sex workers systematically hunted him down, took him out and dumped his body in the Thames?Rachel Stark ✊🏻 @syntactics · 31 Aug 2018

The stories of immigrants written by their children! My parents have an amazing love story that ties into how they came to the US, would love to write it one day for them + hear what other stories writers have had passed down onto them 💖 twitter.com/missdahlelama/…M. S. W. L! #mswl

How to make a character sympathetic1. Moral code
2. Active selflessness/other-orientation
3. Victim of injustice/underdog
Totally not the only way to make a character sympathetic, but a GREAT way, and one that I am especially keen on #mswl

this article: chron.com/local/gray-mat…Oof. I feel like there's a novel in here, especially if it's a teen that's got their own stuff going on at the same time. #mswl
