My oldest has been doing such an amazing job of studying for his SATs, which he takes on Saturday. He’s been working so hard and has been inspiringly self-motivated. I’m super proud of him.
I’m curious, those of you who took pre-university tests such as that, did your parents do anything to celebrate your achievement? I kind of want to do something special for him but I also don’t want to make it weird by putting too much emphasis on it, lol.

What are your thoughts on DNF (Did Not Finish)-ing books? Do you feel guilty about it? Do you worry you missed out on something? Or are you confident in dropping a book and reaching for the next one?
At what point are you most likely to DNF, if ever? What sorts of things cause you to DNF?
My friend, book blogger Kriti, was musing on these questions a while back, and it sparked this new post: https://armedwithabook.com/dealing-with-dnf-the-practice-of-did-not-finish/

Hey bookish folks, I'd love your help! How do you find new-to-you books to read?
I'm trying to figure out where to advertise my books now that I have a fourth book out ( https://buy.bookfunnel.com/vxvlyi6b0v ). I'm rather unknown so can't spend big $$ but it's hard to know where is best to find readers. And yet, it's hard to have a budget without readers, too!

Hey #WritersOfMastodon I need your help! We're doing a series on Building Characters, and with that, we're going to be recording a set of podcast on Character Agency, but we need another subtopic.
Here's what we have so far:
What is agency and why is it important?
How to show agency well
Agency with lack of control/passive characters
??
What do you think? Anything that would fit well in that fourth spot?
