It depends. If I really like the author I tend to read it, if it's a new book I tend to skip it at first. Non-fiction I read the notes almost always. In fiction, definitely more likely to read one at the end. When I first pick up a book I want to start with the story.

જ⁀➴ Do you read or skip the author’s note? Does it matter if it precedes or follows the story?

Does anybody use an e-ink tablet with pen for planning, outlining, note taking, writing, or editing?
I've been looking at the Kindle Scribe or the Remarkable Paper Pro. I thought it would be easier than printing chapters out for proofreading and editing. #writingcommunity 💙📚 #eink #digitalpaper

Thanksgiving is tomorrow in the US. I know a lot of us here aren't feeling too great about the country right now, but find something to be thankful for. We will need the energy to fight in the days to come so take a breath, engage with loved ones, support your community, and take care of yourself.

Cover of the book 'Heroes Die' by Matthew Woodring Stover. The cover depicts a man standing in front of ruins framed by a broken down archway. The man is white with short black hair and a goatee. He wears a black leather tunic mostly open in the front, black pants, and tall black boots. He holds a dagger in each hand. His arms are at his sides with the tip of the daggers pointed toward the ground.

“Rights don’t give you power. People with power can claim rights. Giving a 'right' to someone powerless just transfers it to someone more powerful than them.“

I love myth and stories of fae: their societies, their pranks, the rules to not offend, the consequences of disturbing their realm, and their magic. So much to explore with them.

A great bundle by @ursulakleguin.bsky.social
The Earthsea books are worth it on their own but I would advise writers not to sleep on this bundle either. In this bundle are two great books on writing, 'Steering the Craft,' and 'The Language of the Night.'
