Writers, we got it made in the shade.

Let’s take away our computers and whip out the typewriter and paper. We are so lucky!

I learned to type on a beast like this. My mom told me that I should take a typing class in high school because if I was ever in a pinch, I could be a secretary. I agreed, but secretly thought, “I’m gonna have a secretary.”

I did sit next to my boyfriend in typing class, we passed notes, but got an “A”.

Medium Writers. Can we give props… To the photographers, and just say thank you.

While we writers write, those talented folks have such a gift. They have an eye for beauty.

So truly… Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

In my articles, I mostly use photos from Pexels.com or Unsplash.com. The photos are free so we can publish them

Free is good. I give them a credit with a link of course. Subscribe and follow them.

They all have an option to donate, so when I make some more money I will donate and it will let them know you appreciate their talent.

Exposure. Sharing photos on Unsplash can give significant exposure for a freelance business or personal work. You can donate to the photographer.

Pexels has a similar system where the downloader is invited to “say thanks” to the photographer by making a donation via PayPal. Pexels hosts “challenges” to encourage creators to add to its library by uploading images on specified subjects. Can photographers earn money on Unsplash?

Again from donations or by selling the images to those that contact the photographer for higher resolution images than you uploaded.

The same goes for Pexels. You can buy the images from the photographer at a higher resolution than you uploaded.

Again, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, photographers!

GRAMMARLY. I bow down to you! I think we all do. We love love love you!

Grammarly is a cloud-based writing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement, and delivery mistakes.

For some of you brainiacs, I am sure you don’t need this app, but for me being a “NORMY Grammarly, you are the shit!

This app can find and search for an appropriate replacement for the mistake it locates.

It also allows users to customize their style, tone, and context-specific language.

Grammarly was launched in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko, Max Lytvyn, and Dmytro Lider. (I love you guys.)

Just while writing this I misspelled the word Grammarly 4 times. You had my back! Badda Bing!

What does it cost?

Free Grammarly equips you to spot and fix misspelled words, imperfect grammar, and punctuation mistakes.

Grammarly Premium does the same thing as the free version and a whole lot more — all in service of taking your writing from good to great.

There is a free trial for the big daddy, the Premium version, so you can take it for a spin and see if you like it.

Now you may be wondering, how much?

The monthly subscription costs $25/member/month (billed as one payment for all users). The cost of an annual subscription depends on the number of users on your team: 3 to 9 members — $12.50/member/month. 10 to 49 members — $12.08/member/month.

— I am using the free version, and for me, it’s a good fit. —

Here is a link if you want to do the Premium free trial. Totally free!

Grammarly is an online grammar-checker and writing tool that helps you improve your writing by flagging grammatical and stylistic…

ONE MORE FLIPPING TIME. THANK YOU GRAMMARLY, COMPUTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS!

I now know how to spell Grammarly now. I kept spelling it wrong, and Grammarly kept correcting me. I was spelling it with one “m”. Thank you very much!
