Wait, a letter from a Somerset writing retreat? So Ruby went on another writing retreat after the Devon one?

View attachment 2355452

Nope, never mind, Ruby's just lost track of what the hell she's pretending to be doing and where she's pretending to be going while juggling too many lies about how busy her life is.

She even had to act like she had to cut this letter short because she was JOSST SYO VARRY BUSYYYY, even though she apparently had plenty of time to waste on yet another meandering, pointless letter in which she blathers about nothing but the weather.

"Every day without fail,(though the kind sometimes changes)."

Ruby thinks she's a gifted writer overdue a publishing deal, then she constantly offers up tit like this garbled mess and calls it a sentence.
This letter is so painfully boring.

Her handwriting is so....unusual? Why doesn't she do joined up writing and why are all the letters the same size? Why do her 'd's look like a's?
Apart from her signature 🤔
It looks like she cuts the stems off the letters so I struggle to read them. I need ‘d’ to look like ‘d’ and not ‘a’ otherwise i’m squinting at her writing, trying to make sense of it. Her ‘l’s mid words seem to be chopped in half, also.

Did you guys in the UK have those French cartoons that show you how the human body works? They were very popular in Italy and I loved them as a kid, so even as a 5 year old I probably knew that blood carries oxygen to the brain
Yes, we had them in Germany too and I loved them as a kid! 🥰

I can’t make it past 4 minutes of this new video. At the age of 23, she really needs to let go of her fixation on school. This video would have performed way better if she’d of said something about preparing for Oxford rather than “back to school”.

As normal, her suggestions and tips are all just busy work. Who has the time to sit down and write all of their “key ideas” after every class. Most students have classes back-to-back!

I always cringe so much to imagine one of her family members filming her as she does this.

I said it previously, but from a graphological perspective, the upper zone represents the intellectual level - she lacks this zone entirely. Her letters seem all the same size, and the fact that her handwriting seems almost entirely the same always apart from tiny differences, makes me think that she is stuck in the "I must be perfectly what I'm expected to be, elseway I'm consumed by anxiety and my fears".

I'm no expert, but seeing how her complete upper zone went missing and what huge gaps she has on the right side, she is no well guys, no matter how she tries to pretend. :/ Here, I go into details under the Spoiler, because I want to avoid accidentally triggering someone.

Gaps on the margins that are uneven might mean both introversion and difficulty to adjust situations, also instability. Uniformity? That might be low self-esteem and lack of spontaneity, inferiority complex. Her medium, sometimes large letters? Childish thinking. Round, print letters? Dependent on another person. Pressure: heavy, which might mean that she sees herself as heavier than she actually is.

Her lower zone is really interesting as well, because in the majority of cases the only time I see her returning to the baseline, which represents reality, is when she writes down her name. In that case, the Y returns to the baseline, sometimes curling down, sometimes not. When she does not return, and has this straight line in the case of Y, that's called the "loner Y". That is just as frequent in the case of her as the incomplete Y, when she has a half-loop, but it's not finished - that is, returned to the baseline. That one is called the "frustrated y", and hence lower zone represents the subconscious and sexual thoughts of an individual in graphology, I think there might also be some issue she has to figure out for her own good.

So in short, guys, she has lots of issues she needs help and I don't think she is ready mentally to address these issues or get help. :/

ooohh I loved that show as a kid. It's on Netflix btw. I should re-watch it.
I don't know if children Ruby's age ... I mean... people born in the early 2000s know that show. I was born in the 80s so I grew up watching "Once upon a time ... Man" and "Once upon a time ... Life". I don't remember the other shows.

So I most unwisely watched Rubert’s new video. Two things… Firstly, if she’s been practising academic writing for ten minutes daily since 2016, why on earth isn’t she a better writer? She just… isn’t very good. I’m genuinely surprised that she claims to have such a consistent writing practice; is this a Rubert porky-pie? Am baffled.

Secondly, did my eyes and ears deceive me or did she cite Gatsby as a good example to follow of how to conduct one’s day-to-day life? 😂

I was born in 1999 and they were definitely a staple of Sunday morning cartoons in Italy

It's possible she's honest about doing "TAN MINATS" of academic writing a day, but she's never been interested in growing or improving at absolutely anything she does, so she'll never get better no matter how often she does it. Considering she's incapable of critical thought or ideas of her own, she's likely just copying an existing essay into Notion and considering it "academic writing waaahhrrrkkk" or she just puts random words on a page to fill time to try to impress other people with another VARRY PRODOCKTIVE TAAHHHHSK done.

She's said in the past that she hates editing/proofreading and considers it "mindless and "pointless". Proofreading, editing and rewriting are where people learn their mistakes and learn to improve, but Ruby just says, "Nah, I'll have none of that, I got it right first time." It's why her videos are all the same, with all the same glaring technical errors. It's why her poems and letters are all the same repetitive, garbled tit about the weather.

Her response to having her book rejected by publishers wasn't to work on it and improve based on feedback, but to throw a tantrum and pull the book. It says a lot that she's still making the same consistent, basic mistakes with grammar, punctuation and language that she did 6 years ago, even after an English degree, writing retreats and working with a literary agent. She thinks she's an infallible genius who doesn't need to improve, but it probably doesn't help that all her interests are fake so there's never any real desire to engage with them and get better.

Her attitude to editing and proofreading annoys me SO MUCH. I write as a big part of my job and it is my passion outside of that (copywriting in marketing, but I also write essays, articles, and dabble in fiction now and then) and editing is where the MAJORITY of good writing happens.

It’s not just about catching mistakes (this is clearly what she thinks it’s for - and of course, she never makes mistakes!). By editing you can go back in and really address all the layers of a piece of writing. The flow and rhythm. The devices and techniques. Tweaking sentence structure and vocabulary can make a piece sing. Most of all, you can further refine ideas, and often as I’m editing new and better ideas will occur to me. By the time I am finished, only fragments of my first draft remain.

Editing is so so so integral to writing. When I write, I pour back over every single sentence multiple times. I refine refine refine. All the while trying to remember what I have been humble enough to learn about good writing from other writers. I try to push myself to implement new techniques that I’ve learned or picked up from reading other writers so that my writing grows and develops.

It is hard, disciplined work. Meanwhile Ruby just wants to cosplay being “a writer” and credit to her, she seems to make a lot more money faking being interested in books and reading than she would ever make from writing. What a world we live in.

Holocaust lectures, prep and extra reading... No wonder the key event that day was to call Blakeney, probably to help her sum up.
All her to do lists have this fake vibe of her just scribbling up some made up vague tasks to make an impression (failed) that she’s busy
