it's high time to switch gears

high time, indeed!
It's April 20, so I'll first wish a Happy 420 to my pot-smoking contingent because God knows I've got a lot of stoners who read this blog to try and improve their grammar.*

But because it's April 20, this also means I need to get back to creating another month's (or two months') worth of content for Substack, as well as two weeks' content for YouTube. Joy. Luckily, content creation shouldn't be too difficult this time around: I'm in the middle of a quiz-making phase, so I'm making 60 quizzes to match the 60 units' worth of grammar curriculum I've developed. In other words, I'm publishing quiz announcements on Substack instead of putting out grammar units, which take a long time to write. Quiz announcements are easier. I will, of course, eventually get back to creating grammar units. The curriculum must continue! What all this means is, starting today, I'll be back to doing the following:

  • populating my blog with scheduled posts on YouTube
  • adding more "100 Below" short stories to Substack (out every Tues/Thu)
  • adding more games and puzzles (out every Wed)
  • adding more Bad Online English units (out every Mon/Fri)
  • thinking about adding photographic content (out every Tues/Thu)
  • thinking about adding cartoons and artwork (out every Tues/Thu)

I still haven't gotten to work on videos, but I promise: Those are coming.

All of this while trolling online for university work.

*Some pedants will argue that try and should never be used: It's try to. But according to this respectable source, that's not true. The locution try and is acceptable. Don't overcorrect.
