Ultimately I’m glad I ordered the BYOK as it met my needs over competitors in most ways. I’m usually at a desk or table or whatever but the one downside is the occasional situation where I wish I had a clamshell product for lap writing. What are your hacks, set ups, or recommended keyboards to make lap writing work? I have one keyboard that has its own little easel for the BYOK but it’s super tiny and I have gigantic hands!

I’m Filipino writer but my Tagalog isn’t very good. I want to write the phrase “How could you (do that)?!” in a dramatic, accusatory way in a story I’m writing, and just want to make sure I get it right. I asked my mom but she never knows how to spell anything, so hoping for some help here. Thank you!

Edit: thank you for the replies! To clarify: yes, I really am looking for similar but more natural phrases that have a similar effect in context. It doesn’t need to be a direct translation! Much appreciated :)

I used it about a year ago and the info was pretty clear online. Now I can’t find anything about it! Has anyone been able to use their DSW # at the SFO international garage recently? I want to do it again but since you don’t pay until you leave I’d rather not find out I’m being charged in full on the way out.

EDIT: I just called to confirm it’s still a thing! I will be sure to post if I end up getting screwed on my way out in a couple days though!

Basically, if I want to see how a the first few chapters do online before (or while simultaneously) querying agents for the full thing, is that essentially the same thing as violating the whole "unpublished manuscript" rule?

8 years ago I wrote some trash novel and self-published it online with my real name. Since then, I got a creative writing degree, nuked the manuscript, wrote the story again from the ground up with a new title, narrator, etc., and have a few publishing credits under a new pseudonym. The core of the story is similar but it really is a new novel. In my not-expert opinion at least. I've done everything to scrub the old novel from online but, you know, internet. Do I have a shot at the "new" novel being picked up for traditional publishing or should I toss that idea to the wind?

I like to think of how Raymond Carver essentially published the same story twice in two forms (The Bath vs A Small, Good Thing) but I'm not Carver. I'm a nobody lol
