Random writing tips that my history professor just told during class that are actually helpful
Download all your sources or print them so you can turn off your wifi
Give your phone to someone
Just. WRITE. Writing is analysing, you’ll get more ideas as you write. It doesn’t need to be perfect, for now you can just blurt out words and ideas randomly. You can fix it later.
Create a skeleton/structure before writing.
Stop before you get exhausted. It’s best to stop writing when you still have some energy and inspiration left, this will also motivate you to get started again next time.
Make a to do list
Work in bite sizes. Even if it’s not much, as long as you put some ideas on paper or do some editing.
Simple language =/= boring language, simple language = clear language.
Own your words. If they are not your words, state this clearly in the text, not just in the footnotes.
STOP BEFORE YOU GET EXHAUSTED. Listing it again because it’s easily one of the best tips a teacher has ever given me.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could have prepared me for the scene in the first Hornblower movie where our lad has to tell his subordinates not to fight rats using just their faces (their hands are tied behind their backs, you see). Was this a real thing that the British Navy had to deal with? Because it really feels like you shouldn't have to tell people not to fight rats with their faces.

Everyone else when they’re undercover during a con: *just standing around* *miming the actions of the job they’re supposed to be doing* “What supervisor, there’s a very valid reason I’m not doing my job, I, uh……”
Eliot freaking Spencer: Guys stop the crime for a minute I have to go deliver these pizzas. I have to plate 300 hors-d'œuvres by 7:00. Get out of my way I have to go build a house with my bare hands.
#leverage#eliot spencer#only one of them is trying to work off the blood in his ledger#and that one is eliot freaking spencer#there's also something very working-class solidarity to him#gotta carry his weight#and not let his new coworkers down

I would like to note that contrary to popular belief, tuxedo cats are not little businessmen!
tuxedo is formal party attire, if you wore one at a business function, you would be inappropriately dressed!
tuxedo cats are, instead, lil fancy guys, darling socialites, even
#we were definitely Simone's staff#and she was absolutely a charming little socialite#very elegant#very charismatic#holding court at her club every sunny afternoon#kitty

The 1950s radio version is pretty widely available on old-time radio sites, and there are a number of copies up on Internet Archive. A lot of the uploads have errors, though -- missing episodes, misnamed episodes, etc.
I haven't verified that this copy is 100% correct, but it's correct in a lot of spots that other tend to have errors:
The Adventures of Horatio Hornblower
I was so deep into the Hornblower x Bush stuff last night that I forgot to mention I was trying to work out who pushed Sawyer down the hold (if he didn't actually fall) and I think I have finally worked out my conclusion...
I think...Wellard did it.
Hornblower is keeping quiet because he saw and helped Wellard get out of the situation and protected him, being honourable enough to keep to the story after Wellard's death while also keeping scrutiny on himself.
Also, I do think when Bush asked him finally during their lodgings with the Mason's, Hornblower would've told him if he had been involved. They were at Peace, he trusted Bush a lot by then, but it wasn't Hornblower's secret to keep.
Also the men recalled how awful Wellard was treated by Sawyer, bad mental health or no.

The 1950s radio plays (which I always presumed involved Forester to some degree, just like the movie did), explicitly took the position that Wellard pushed Sawyer. Wellard certainly had the opportunity, and it's easy to believe that Hornblower would be more resolutely protective of Wellard's secret than he would be of his own.
Another possibility is that Hornblower doesn't actually know, either, he just came upon Sawyer already injured and Wellard standing over his body trembling, and went, "Well shit, this kid is going to hang if I don't take this situation in hand," and so he did. Hornblower honestly doesn't know any more than anyone else (excluding, of course, Wellard); he's just trying to make sure that Sawyer's reign of terror ends here.

#lieutenant hornblower#I don't actually have an opinion about who did it#if anyone did it at all#I tend rather admire Hornblower (and also Forester) for making it an unanswerable question#by the end of the book the only person alive who knows is Hornblower#and by stint of the prequels being written last#he never has a further thought on the subject again#who pushed Sawyer?#did ANYONE push Sawyer?#Hornblower is taking that shit to his grave#(assuming even HE knew)#(and he might only have had his suspicions)

36 chapters into moby dick. some thoughts:
- take a shot every time he expresses his love for nantucket or whaling trivia
- i know everyone said it was queer and usually i've come to expect that as hyperbole but this time they weren't joking
- CHILDE HAROLD REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?! BYRON QUOTED?!?!?!?! not surprised bc it is the romantic genre which byron & chp helped inspire & he was the best selling writer in early 19c usa & is noted for his oceanic refs & he & esp childe harolds pilgrimage esp are both noted on wikipedia's "nautical fiction" page but like. i had no idea they were immortalized in moby dick
- "Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian." AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
- does gay cannibal tumblr know about queequeg & ishmael?
- utterly obsessed with captain ahab for numerous reasons but does anyone else notice how similar he is to captain flint from black sails? like he's literally him but a bit older & combined with silver's leglessness.
- the part where ahab calls stubb a dog lmao
- ishmael getting worried for queequeg when he couldn't find him omg...
- "Where's that girl ? — there, Betty, go to Snarles the Painter, and tell him to paint me a sign, with — 'no suicides permitted here, and no smoking in the parlor;' — might as well kill both birds at once." MRS. HUSSEY!!!!
- i'm sure that all the focus on queequegs spirituality & his consultation with his god yojo wherein he was informed that ishmael had to pick their boat bc yojo demaded it TOTALLY won't prove to have any prophetic and symbolic consequences later on or anything
- love how the chapters are nice and short but on the flip side that means theyre tricking me into thinking i have less to go than i actually do... as long as i get more ahab i'm good i guess
-melville, at random: and now we take a break from our regularly schedule programming to give you . . . WHALE FACTS! [whips out multiple books on the history of whales and whaling, begins to recite]
#moby dick#shaking my head at 'gay cannibal tumblr'#and how it ABSOLUTELY describes the terror portion of my dash
