I got to beta read this amazing book about life backstage in London's West End, and it's finally being released. So exciting! Congrats, Stewart Arnott. If you love musical theatre and want a peek behind the curtain, I highly recommend this read! #books #theatre #authors #writers #BookSky

BlueSky is my happy place, so I don’t want to bring politics over here too much, but has anyone seen this insanity over at Twitter? Our president is encouraging this behavior. Meanwhile, on TikTok, I get flagged for using the word “idiot” because it goes against community guidelines.

I loved this book. Even though I was late to the party and it was on my TBR shelf for years, I am so glad it was my first book of 2025. It was heartbreaking in a good way, a love story about two best friends.

I tried to read the book and hated it. I saw the musical in NY and hated it. Tonight I streamed the movie version of Wicked and absolutely loved it. It was freakin’ amazing. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Editing tip of the day:
“That” is often a filler word you don’t need. Read your sentence aloud with and without the “that.” If your sentence still makes sense without it, remove it. It’s always best to get your point across without superfluous content that just adds to your word count.
