Recently finished this short story collection by @josephreinauthor.bsky.social He has a style all of his own, and a particular skill in portraying ‘the raw truth of human experience’. Stunning writing. 🌟

So, I was 200 pages into a book and just gave up on it. I usually don't go that far, but the author dangled an interesting carrot at the opening--the MC was hiding a dark past--but then revealed halfway through that it wasn't actually her dark past, it was her father's. That was it for me

James Gunn is great...and it can't be worse than what they've done in the recent past...but, something about seeing another Superman trailer puts me right on edge. They've scarred me, maybe beyond repair...

Any other writers out there have strange writing goals? One of mine is to sit down in an airplane and see someone across the aisle reading my book... #writingcommunity #amwriting

For most writers, social media is almost the only way we have to let people know about our books. So, please bear with us if we plug our wares occasionally. Pop stars and actors hype their latest projects online, and we need to do it too.

Just reworded this sentence for Book 2, and I love it so much I have to share: "When mixed together, ego and conspiracy made a potent cocktail." #amwriting #WritingCommunity
