I often see advice about writing every day. It works for some people. I worry that those of us who can't will get discouraged. It's often presented as a requirement, but it's certainly not. I don't write every day. It's not realistic for me. I am a human, not a machine. And some days I need rest.

You don't need to write every day to be a writer. Many of us can't for various reasons (chronic illness, jobs, caregiving.) You can get a lot done in the in-between times, the quickly snatched moment. It can be helpful to write frequently and consistently, but that doesn't have to mean daily.

After careful consideration we've decided to stop advertising on Facebook and Instagram (and, by extension, Threads). Ads on Meta platforms were a big source of traffic for our Editor Picks and Community stories as well as new artist signups, but it's been difficult to square giving cash to these
