🧵 (4/4)<li>Honestly? Encourage young writers to learn Markdown. Markdown and the Fountain variant are totally in line with how Millennials and younger have always learned to write online for things like emphasis. The idea that you can write in paragraphs in any old notes app or text editor like you would online and then take that and paste it into a BOOK (at least in Fade In) is a potential enabler to create anywhere. I have TONS of notes in Google Keep and the fact I can pre-format things and just copy them in when I get home? *chef kiss*</li><li>Push people away from Amazon and its abusive practices. Places like itch.io exist and give a much bigger cut to creators. Absolutely warn them they need to PUT it on Amazon or someone else will and that's just a nightmare, but if we can pull a "find it here, here, here, and, oh, sure, on Amazon, too, I guess" and break that effective monopoly, everyone wins!</li>
