I wish I could but I'm in round 6 revision (hoping 6th time is the charm) of my novel that was inspired by my 2021 FWF entry.

Great tips, Shannon.
They all hit home with one hitting with an extra punch.
I just finished my first 'experimental' manuscript in dialogue only. Through the entire writing process, my inner-CP relentlessly questioned, 'I dunno about this'.
Next time I'm going to listen to him harder : )

Welcome to Bluesky!
HANK was a Christmas gift for our 12 yo very reluctant reader. He finished it yesterday...and drumroll please...he liked it (to put in perspective, he likes nothing). He liked it so much, he asked, "does the author have any other books?"
You friggin' rock!

My husband was an English major. He's now an attorney. He frequently comments that many attorneys have poor writing skills.
