I wanted to love The Lilac People more than I did. The main character's constant anguish made it hard to connect, especially besides Karl's tragic but quieter grief. The LGBTQ+ history along side well-timed suspense gave the story depth beyond its flaws.

We don't need AI. We need a network of reliable autistic people to ask our niche questions to.

AI is robbing artistic fields & is unethically sourcing content to feed the machine. But can AI be used as a tool outside of creative fields? My gut says to hold the line until they have more ethical practices. But what would have to change to make AI use acceptable?

Writing is so strange. You sit alone inventing people and somehow discover more about yourself in the process. It's a playground for introspection.

CAUTION: there's a chance that tiny throwaway plot twist you added for fun becomes the entire emotional core of your book, and now you're rewriting 40k words to make it make sense.
CAUTION: There's a chance that small side character you just created becomes way more important to the story than you had originally planned because you keep daydreaming cool things about them, and you end up liking them too much

I'm doing the ADHD reader thing where I try to read 4 books at once. Is it a sign of dysregulation or is my TBR pile staging a coup?

Reading feels sacred in autumn. The air cools, the earth softens, and the smallest story becomes a comfort. Books and blankets were made for this season 🍂

I heard someone say that a book with 5k reviews was a rare find. Social media numbers have become harder to contextualize. One thousand doesn't look like a lot on paper, but you put those same people in a room and it's staggering!

Writing can feel daunting right up until it doesn't. Getting down one good sentence can make you believe in yourself again. Every draft I chase that moment.

When Is a Horror Book a Thriller? When a Woman Writes It
There's a thin line between horror and thriller, but why does one gender seem to always be categorized one way?

Between Two Fires is equal parts brutal and beautiful. It reads like folklore mixed with scripture, using parable-like encounters to explore themes of sin and redemption. It’s grim, captivating, and kept me thinking well past the last page. Easily my fav read this year.

I asked my brother to borrow a banned #book through his library for me and found out he's NEVER had a library card. He's in his mid-thirties...
He's getting one to help me and, somewhere, a librarian got her wings 🧚🏼♀️

Me: Even as a kid, I wondered why Hogwarts students didn't die more. They let kids carry and train with the equivalent of guns. Also, you're telling me a school with moving staircases doesn't have daily instances of accidental murder?

I was able to predict a significant call back in a show my husband and I were watching last night. He said, "How'd you know that would happen?" I shrugged and said, "It's good writing..." Then, after a beat, we both said in unison, "Or it's the ADHD."
