Writing outside the margins
I write and edit for a living. (Yes, some people still do that.) My work has appeared in Allure, Marie Claire, InStyle, Women's Health and more. I've also held top editing positions at Cosmopolitan, Everyday with Rachael Ray and Martha Stewart's Whole Living. This is where I fight writer's block.

Last Friday, the writer Emily Rapp’s three-year-old son Ronan passed away from Tay-Sachs disease. Because Emily is part of the greater Rumpus family, the site is honoring Ronan’s memory by publishing a tribute by her friend Jennifer Pastiloff.

"This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important."

This has to be the best - not to mention, most useful - thing that has ever come across our dashboard. Best post of 2012. Nice work, Mr. Parker.

With all of the words we say we’ve stopped using some particularly wonderful ones
Peckish. Gumption. Discombobulate. Mm.
I’d add bedevil to the list. Criminally ignored for such a great word.
