Was remembering the Neapolitan Novels yesterday and it immediately hit me the scene where Elena finds her child and Lila's having sex and ponders whether she'd wanted to do the same with her growing up, and how she didn't out of fear of punishment. And just... the ease with which she admits this and then moves on like it's nothing, maybe because there's nothing she can do anymore? How her wish to make a life together with Lila, whether romantic or platonic, couldn't happen due to their circumstances and now they have to look at each other across a forked path?

And yet, despite Lila's physical absence at her side, she's right there in every word Elena writes. Because writing is the space where the two of them come together, whether they intended it or not. First as a shared dream of advancing in life, later as a tool Elena uses to try to hold on to a desired form of herself (a form close to Lila's, whose writing she admires, and far from everything she rejects about her hometown, so she can avoid repeating what her mother came to be), writing is presented as possibility of transforming themselves that's different, and preferable, to sexual reproduction.

It's also a chance to rescue an untold experience, as Lila's writing inadvertently shapes hers, even when Lila is deprived of her own voice and becomes unable to follow her on that path. A part of Lila always remains and seeps into Elena's narrative voice even if she's never able to fully grasp Lila and figure her out. Revisiting her own writing, she cannot deny the terrifying hold Lila's existence has on hers. At the end of her narration, it's an entire life that she has spent by her side, regardless of either of them has realized it. Even when Lila is reduced to being Stefano's wife or a voice on the phone. Even when she seems to have succeeded in her goal of dissolving all boundaries and disappearing completely, her writing survives in a way that permeates and exists in Elena's writing and that she prolongs in the creation of a story that combines the voices of both, even snatching her from disappearance.

i know i’m demo/aro and to some degree romance repulsed but i go through these weird phases where one moment im really into affection and the idea of a relationship (not a romantic one but something close) and then i wake up one day and feel grossed out by the concept so i’ll start talking to someone and flirting and shit and then suddenly i have no feelings for them and i can’t understand why i ever wanted to talk to them in that way. like what tf is that. it’s so annoying because it probably comes off as if i’m lying or leading people on but i genuinely just lose feelings so quickly for no reason and it has happened to me in every talking stage or relationship i’ve ever had

I always left you and blamed you for walking away. I really loved you, but it never felt right to stay. I am sorry I yelled at you, it was not your anger to take. I am sorry I hated you, I thought it would make you come back. I am really sorry for everything going this way. We always said we were fine, but we were a mess. We were never okay. @connectingwithsoul

Why “I Told You So” Isn’t Something I Want to Say to My Toddler

There are so many things we think about as parents—how to raise kind, confident, resilient kids, how to keep our cool on little sleep, how to be present even when the day feels stretched too thin. One small phrase I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is “I told you so.” It might seem harmless, even natural, but it’s one of those things I’ve decided I don’t want to say to my toddler. I talked to…

Behavioral Truths IT Support Wishes You Knew

The thing that bothers me about all of the Sisyphus memes, and the whole “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” stuff is like…

The boulder is the END of his story. It is the result of attempting to escape death— which is as futile as pushing a boulder up the hill because inevitably it will fall again.

It’s like, a whole metaphor. The boulder isn’t even the main point.

9 Marketing Mistakes That Make You Look Like a Rookie

Marketing could be a bit of a challenge in today’s competitive world. Marketing experts even stumble sometimes. As a beginner, they can also easily make mistakes that can hurt their efforts. Here is a list of 9 common pitfalls to watch out for so that you don't seem like a marketing rookie: 

1. Ignoring Your Target Audience:

One of the most common mistakes a newbie makes is not being able to specify a clear description of their target marketing as well as understand its true needs. These new marketing activities will thus have no specific target and no significant impact. Get to know your ideal clients, their ages, genders, occupations, education levels, motivations, goals, needs, and the social platforms they use. This information will help you customize your message and choose channels. 

2. Neglecting Content Marketing:

Content is king! Nowadays, all businesses, especially, need to regularly produce content. This content should not only be captivating but also interesting enough to make one come back. This surely could be in the form of a blog, video, and article. And also, it can be a social post where you create the infographic. 

3. Overlooking SEO:

Search Engine Optimization(SEO) helps your website and content to be noticed in search results. Without optimizing your website and content for search engines, you are not capitalizing on a big portion of organic traffic. 

4. Not Utilizing Social Media:

The very potent way that social media platforms offer to bring people closer to your target audience, to build brand awareness, and to lead people to your website is also something you also need to see. Select platforms with 2 most relevant to your business and create a consistent social media presence. 

5. Ignoring Email Marketing:

Email marketing is still one of the best ways to develop leads, build relationships with customers, and also to sell your products and services. 

6. Failing to Track Your Results:

How do you know if your marketing efforts are working? By tracking your results! Utilize analytics tools to keep an eye on primary indicators including site traffic, social media involvement, and conversion rates. This will help you be aware of what works and what does not, therefore, you can move your strategy accordingly.  

7. Not Building a Strong Brand Identity:

The very essence of your brand is comprised of the only combination of factors that make you, and only you, exist beyond mere existence

In the sea of brands. Your brand identity, in this case, is meant to show your brand name, logo, message, and overall visual aesthetic. 

8. Focusing Too Much on Sales:

In spite of the fact that sales are eventually the aim, closing a deal only might deter a prospect from buying it. Alternatively, concentrate on connecting with the customer and offering usefulness. 

9. Giving Up Too Easily:

Marketing demands both time and effort. Do not be disheartened if you do not get the desired end result in a day.

In case you can avert the given frequent new errors; your marketing will appear to be of greater efficiency and you will finally reach your aims.

Conclusion

If you want to avoid looking like a marketing rookie, then concentrate on getting to know your target audience and how to create valuable content that is optimized for search engines and social media that can help you in building the identity of a strong brand. Measure what you are doing versus the goals you have set for yourself, prioritize customer relationships over immediate sales, and do not up easily.

To avoid any kind of breaks or interludes follow the Common Relationship Mistakes which we have organised for you. Be it a married couple or girlfriend-boyfriend every individual must avoid making Mistakes in a Relationship.

Identify all the Biggest Relationship Mistakes You can Avoid to sustain an enchanting bond with your partner. 

Don’t Be a Controlling Freak

Never try to control or regulate your partner’s life according to what you wish or want from him or her. In a delightful relationship it should always be about two of you together, never let it become an individual’s affair. Always remember that, two of you came together to sustain into a loving bond and survive together forever. Your unintentional or intentional controlling habit might affect your relationship to a greater extent. Always provide the amount of room your partner wants and never try to interfere too much into that space. You will help your relation to light up and enjoy the amount of time both of you spend together. 

Side-Step Self- Gratification

It’s always about two persona’s living together who withstand all the up’s and down’s in a relation. When individuality and self-gratification enters into a relationship it ruins all the chances of it surviving forever. Learn to enjoy the life with him or her, plan trips and romantic dates to spend more and more time together. Never stop having healthy and romantic communication with your partner; your relation will endure till the end. 

Avoid Unexciting Relationship

One never realises, but after some time life becomes very monotonous and boring, same thing happens in a relationship also. You might not understand it, but at a point you start to neglect your partner and their needs. Get hold of the blunder you are going to make, and put in efforts to oblige your partner. Start with spending some quality time with your lover, enjoy dates with him or her like before, and bring back the romance and love in your relation again. To save your bond, never let your relation fall into a pit of being boring and unexciting, rather enjoy exhilarating moments together. 

Over Occupied With Work

Responsibilities and work should never stop you from loving the one person you are emotionally attached with. This is one of a very conventional mistake you can make in a relationship. So, realise your mistake and make stability between your work and your relation, so as to sustain an everlasting relation. Spend countless time with each other and relish a picture-perfect life with your loving partner. 

Escape Endless Skirmishes

Being in a relationship doesn’t mean that you get a licence to indulge into fights or arguments with your love. Rather learn to wonder her, tease her and fill your relation with astounding humour and unconditional love. Even if you have fights, resolve them and move forward in your life and always love your partner. Don’t let the fights or arguments linger your relation, take an escape from those endless skirmishes and start adoring your life. 

Avoid Third Person’s Meddling It’s your relationship and it’s your life never let any other person to intrude into your personal affairs. This is one of the very common mistakes which you would intend to make most of the times. Never intend to discuss your personal fights or arguments with any third person, it’s always better to resolve all your issues together. Let others know how content and pleased you are with your relationship, it will help you attain respect.

I know tag wranglers do a lot of work connecting tags etc. Is there anything authors can do to make their jobs easier for them like trying to mostly use canonical tags or not making tag comments?

Thanks!

This is a great question, and I'll do my best to answer it but I do hope that some wranglers add on in the notes! I'm also just going to preface this with the fact that you should still tag however you like to tag. This list isn't meant to be a checklist or anything. It's just info I've picked up over the years and you can take or leave each piece as you see fit.

Okay, so the first thing that most non-wranglers should know is that wranglers see tags separately from the fic. They get a big bin full of tags to sort through and match up in the system, but they'll only see your fic and the other tags you've added to it if they decide to go look.

That's important to know because sometimes a user will tag something like [character] is so sexy and then also tag by which I mean they're a huge dork. The wranlger won't see that second tag and won't know that they're connected so your sarcastic tag will end up synned (matched up to) sexy!Character or whatever the canonical is, as if that was the meaning you were going for.

Another good thing to know is that tags can only be synned if they only have 1 idea in them. So if you tag, say, [character] is gay and autistic then the wrangler can't actually syn that to either [character] is gay or character is autistic because it only half-fits either tag. To have them synned in the database, you would need to tag those two ideas separately.

You might have already seen the post I made referencing the fact that you don't have to tag multiple versions of the same idea (unless you want to for the aesthetic) because the synning that wranglers do makes sure that tagging one idea allows users to filter for all versions of that idea. But in case you didn't know that, now you do!

Wranglers are often members of the fandoms they wrangle, but they aren't always. Sometimes they'll take on a fandom that doesn't otherwise have a wrangler because they like to do research or because they like small fandoms or for many other reasons. But that means that if you're tagging your OCs by name, you should add (OC) to the end so that they know it's not a canon character that they aren't familiar with. This is double true in huge fandoms like Star Wars where there are millions of canon characters and just as many OCs.

Wranglers don't "seed" tags in fandoms. For a tag to exist, users need to create it. The rule of thumb is at least 3 fics from 3 separate authors, but that's very much the minimum and in fast-moving or huge fandoms the bar is probably higher. Also, for brand new fandoms, it's entirely possible that they won't know you exist until you tell them. Back in January I was the first person to write in a brand new fandom so I knew I had to start the tags, and I waited until there were 25 or so works by 15 or so creators before I emailed Support because I know I have to be patient - but I'm still impatient by nature lol.

Another thing to know is that tags are kind of like proton packs - they can't cross the streams. If you put a tag in the Character field by mistake, wranglers can't move it to the Additionals. This can also work in your favour, though, because if you have a minor character or minor relationship that you want to tag because there's some kind of fandom drama happening and people want to be able to avoid them, you can tag them in the Additional Tags so that people can know they're in there, but the people who like that character or ship can still filter the Character and Relationship tags without seeing a bunch of works that don't really focus on them.

This got super long, so I'll end with your question about tag comments. I know people worry that it makes extra work for tag wranglers if you get all chatty in your fic tags but I've been reassured by more than one wrangler over the course of several years now that it's no extra work. They just shovel those tags into the gaping maw of the Unfilterable Beast - which is the same thing they do with those tags that have multiple concepts in them. If it can't be synned, then that's where they go.

(keep tagging that way, though, if you like to because that's how new concepts get created and eventually canonized)

Alright, I that's all I can think of off the top of my head, and the list was actually longer than I thought! Wranglers: please do add on with other things you wish users knew, and please correct me if anything has changed since the last time I delved into this topic!

Editing to add: a wrangler pointed out in the tags that [character] is autistic and gay can itself become a single tag if enough people use it. That's true of other tags with multiple meanings as well. They just can't be synned with existing tags in the meantime.
