Jumping to Conclusions
Tweet of the Day: “Ambassador” ——– About a week ago certain sectors of the internet exploded with the news that J.K.

Transitional Scenes: Down the Rabbit Hole
Tweet of the Day: Secret Sexism and Female Character Design ——- What is a transitional scene? A transitional scene is one that helps the reader with the process of suspension of disbelief.
