I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but this screams "AI hallucination" so blatantly I feel the need to call this out. I can understand thinking AI is a cool toy, but getting AI to generate beta-reading summaries for you is bad conduct. I will not endorse your Fiver

Nobel prize-winning #HumanActs by #HanKang portrays a defining moment in Korean history—the pro-democracy Gwangju Uprising of May 1980—through and around the fictional story of Dong-ho, a young boy killed in the government-sanctioned massacre that ensued. A difficult, eye-opening book! #Bookvember

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Are there any characters that are important to your story but who haven't appeared in person on the page?

Someone historical? Or who died before the events of the story? Or someone absent for other reasons?

Victims and survivors of rape/sexual assault are going to be really going through it as the Epstein files are examined and discussed. If you know someone who might be impacted, show up for them. If you are someone who will be impacted, take care of yourself. We'll get through this.

Okay, I'm determined to return to my love of #worldbuilding in these horrible times, and since all of my previous projects have failed--I can lovingly commit to reusing the work done on them.

And using what I've learned from various world building/writing games, feel the high ground's favor...

This is a big one. Every member of my family had a hand in shaping my current mindset. Whether or not they were good or bad influences, I always took their words and tried to understand it myself. Some taught me what to do. Some taught me what not to do. But I always tried to think for myself.

I was told I wrote a lot of redundant lines. Especially in the early chapters of the manuscript. I agree, actually. Remember, kids! Always practice writing before cranking out your first project in ten years! Don't make the same mistake I did!
None actually. But that’s mostly because my plans to share some of “Sherlock Homeboi” during #octoberween fell though, thus those willing to read it being able to offering advice if wanting/willing/able. #writingcommunity

There's no such thing as #1 Pinned Post🧵 to rule them all, but I shall post it nonetheless. It'll be gay, neurodiverse & beyond the binary.

For those who wander but are not lost & ponder "what if"?

It'll contain my books of the above, Final Fantasy +Narnia inspired, &invite All Writers to Discord👇
