Let's talk about books and the public trust.
📚🧵
Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:

Ahead of my November 19th class, Creating World-Connected Characters, I dive into what we'll be exploring: braiding people and settings in your story. Read on for ideas to get started and a link to join the session!
But Who Is That Character From?: Class Preview

Use TransActual and Trans Solidarity Alliance's tool to email your MP and speak up for trans rights and say no to Trans Exclusion - everyone should have the right to live with safety, dignity and care!
The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.
The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Generating some new writing concerning the job hunt I've had undergoing and where the future might take me.

Our Land, a new documentary, interrogates the connections between land, power and a sense of belonging following the Right to Roam movement in England and Wales. It captures the tension between public campaigners fighting for greater access to nature and landowners.

There's been a strange thing with the rise of social media over the past couple of decades. Once individuals are "done" with a story, they seem to assume everyone else has moved on too. The fact is that YOU moving on from something has nothing to do with whether others are still focused on it.
