For most of my twenties, I jumped from one dream to the next. But through it all, I secretly wanted to be a writer. I watched friends bridge the gap between amateur and professional, and I wished I could be them.
Because I was envious of my friends' writing success, I would try whatever it was they were doing that I thought made them successful. But the problem was I didn't know what I was doing.

Here's a reading challenge: Pick up a book you're pretty sure you won't like — the style is wrong, the taste not your own, the author bio unappealing. You might even take it one step further. Pick up a book you think you will hate, of a genre you've dismissed since high school, written by an author you're inclined to avoid. Now read it to the last bitter page.
Sound like hell? You're off to a good start.

Dear Satya,
I know what you're trying to do and it won't work.
Last week, as I was trying to finish a document in Microsoft Word 2017, a new feature caught my eye. It's called Editor, and it is a little frightening. Here's why.

Imagine you had a message for the future that you wanted to preserve for 5,000 years. Something important that had to survive generations, wars and any number of environmental catastrophes. A message perhaps like: "There was mixed weather this Easter." How would ensure that this message would last?
Floppy discs, CDs, tape are horribly obsolete already. Emailing it is unlikely to last more than a couple of years.

Last week, Facebook announced that Instagram Stories had reached 200 million daily active users.
People were quick to pounce on that significant number and declare that finally, Mark Zuckerberg had "killed" Snapchat, and Facebook and Instagram were winning some imaginary war. Many tweeted things like, "RIP Snap," "Is Snapchat already dead?," "Snapchat is dead fam. Instagram stories came and ended her" and "Instagram just destroyed Snapchat."

Inside Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters, the arrival of Instant Articles in the spring of 2015 was presented as a cause for celebration. Talking with reporters, executives described the fast-loading, natively hosted articles as a promising new creative format. A suite of publishing tools incubated in Facebook's now-defunct newsreading app Paper would find their way to Instant Articles, executives said, evolving the news posts shared on Facebook into immersive multimedia experiences.

Some ornamental plant producers are venturing into growing vegetables in the greenhouse. Greenhouse vegetable crops are susceptible to similar pests as ornamental plants, such as aphids, fungus gnats, spider mites, whiteflies and thrips. Greenhouse vegetable or vegetable transplant growers should always verify insecticides are labeled for edible crops including fruiting vegetable transplants.

All-America Selections was established in 1932 as a program to assist home gardeners in their selection of "truly improved" seeds for vegetables and flowers. Then as now, seed companies were encouraged to create trial grounds, and a national network of these sites was developed to provide extensive testing in varying climates and conditions. There are approximately 80 trial sites.

Haupt Conservatory, spilling over into its expansive grounds.
The show, simply titled "CHIHULY," has been three years in the making.

There is nothing new about comments on how "kids these days" are different from the generations that came before them. In the case of Millennials, the U.S. Census Bureau has some data to back those observations up.
"Today's young adults look different from prior generations in almost every regard: how much education they have, their work experiences, when they start a family, and even who they live with while growing up," says a report from the Census Bureau.

If publishers are down on Facebook Instant Articles, they're increasingly effusive about Apple News as a platform partner.
Apple News, a pre-installed app on Apple phones and tablets, has long been the distant No. 3 in platform publishing initiatives. Introduced in 2015, Apple News didn't elicit the kind of excitement Facebook got with IA and Google with its Accelerated Mobile Pages. But in recent months, Apple began sending more traffic publishers' way and letting them sell subscriptions on the news aggregation app.
