hi everyone,

I've joined the mod team and want to make this sub as useful as possible. before I do anything, I'd like to hear from you

so here are a couple of questions:

• what kind of content helps you most? (tools, routines, accountability, writing tips, mental health, etc...)
• would you want weekly threads? if so, what kind?
• what are your biggest productivity struggles right now?
• any rules you'd like to see added or changed?
• would you be interested in events like writing sprints or discussion weeks?

feel free to share any other ideas. i'll leave this up for a week, then post a summary of what i've heard and what i'm planning.

thanks!

you'll thank me one day.... but 20 bucks ai subscriptions are ruining your best years in life...

go to the football game,

join the theater club

Work a shift at the pizza place...

Stay up too late texting your friends... Get rejected from prom court...

make a mess in chemistry lab.... do the things that actually make you a teenager....

If a college asks you to publish as a teenager, that college does not understand how science works. they want a resume item, not a researcher. That is a bad sign for any institution.

real research takes years. you are sixteen. you are supposed to be learning how to think, not how to cite.

a good college wants curious students, not miniature academics who burned their teenage years chasing a publication that nobody in the field will ever read....

write the AI-sloppy article for yourself if you enjoy it.. put it in a blog

but you don't need to publish for admissions. and definitely do not pay twenty bucks for an AI to write it for you...

today, i've seen 5 or 6 pots from kids asking how to publish, where to publish... this is sad
