Tinker Tuesday for January 27, 2026

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Strunk & White's Elements of Style gets a very bad rap for this. It's considered the "bible" of proper writing by many English teachers, but they forgot that S&W were addressing college students who were absolutely hopeless at writing essays. So it beats proper grammar, punctuation, and communicative style into you, but it was never meant for creative writing.

(Knowing your S&W is good for fiction writers too, but if you treat it like a bible you'll write correctly but boringly.)
