What are some of my favorite books about writing? I break down my top 5 here:
My Top 5 Writing Books — Judy Black
Ah, the never-ending world of writing advice... there are so many options of things to read and learn from. As always, advice is very selective with what matches your own experiences and what clicks…

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.

Every day is a new round in the overall fight against concluding that people are generally awful.

Anyway if you want to read a book so controversial (because it's very queer and also has one long BDSM sequence) it got pre-banned from one of the biggest ebook distributors, subscribe to my newsletter so you don't miss the release date authordiannagunn.com/fan-club
Soooo it looks like Draft2Digital straight up is not going to let me publish my tragic vampire cult story through them
