One of the hardest things about writing is how to make a start, and when. Many would-be writers spend their lives planning to write a book, and never get round to it. If this is you, maybe consider the following. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
1. Lots of people spend their lives waiting for "the right time" to start writing. Full disclosure: There IS no right time. There's only now, and whatever time you're willing to give to writing. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
2. In the same way, lots of people think that if they wait long enough, they will feel ready to begin. That's not how it works. You'll never feel ready. But if you start now, you will have begun your writing journey. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
3. Some people feel that they need to wait for "inspiration to strike." That's not how it works. You don't wait for fitness to happen to you when you're embarking on a get-fit scheme. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
4. Start small. Build a routine. Getting started as writer is a lot like starting a fitness programme. You can't expect to be a top athlete straightaway. But with regular practice and realistic, manageable goals, you can improve over time. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
5. Manage your goals. Don't start writing because you think it's going to make you rich and famous overnight, or because you like the idea of being a writer. Write because you love it, because you want to improve, and because it will enrich your life. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
6. Make sure the people around you allow you time and space for your writing. Make sure they understand that it's important to you, and that you need their co-operation. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
7. Some people find that it helps to have a writing buddy or online writing circle. As with most training regimes, if you start off alongside someone else, you're less likely to give up. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
8. Be realistic about making time. Most people won't be able to find hours every day to write. You don't need to: half an hour's writing every day is far better for you than a six-hour marathon Sunday. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
9. Your writing may not be all that good at first. This is absolutely normal, and nothing to be afraid of. Creative writing is a skill that comes with time and practice. Keep at it: you will improve. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut
10. Read across as many genres as you can. Reading is the best way to develop your awareness of how storytelling works, and when it doesn't. Be curious. Be analytical. Everything you read will feed your writing. #TenThingsAboutStartingOut

the whole point of Dunks was you could go cop them at VIM whenever you wanted for $65. this shit is like having to enter a raffle to buy milk.


like seriously why not make a ton more of them if they're gonna be so sought-after? they land at outlets? so? nike still makes money off that.

the only reason to keep making them so limited is that they KNOW all that matters is the profit on the flip and if they were readily available FEWER people would want them, not more

the whole system is super broken, but it's just gonna go the way it goes, because at this point it all caters to the secondary market. the only reason Nike can sell Jordan 1s for $200 is because the people buying them can flip them for $500

adjusted for inflation, a $65 AJ1 in 1985 is like $160—and modern-day AJ1s are made from cheaper materials in factories staffed by cheaper workers. they don't HAVE to be $200 retail. but the secondary market nuked the whole concept of what sneakers are "worth"
I shared this on my FB page and asked, can ya really blame him?

I was half kidding. I also assumed someone would think of what I did pretty quickly and waiting for the comment to mention what I assumed was obvious.

The timing. I was sure someone else had thought of it.


But no one did. 20+ comments in people discussed the morality or bad sense or libertarian perspectives. Someone even said I’m thinking about doing that. No one said what I thought was obvious. Have you thought of it? Is it obvious to you?

Here’s a clue...recognize it?


How about this?

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
