An excerpt from the story I am currently writing. It’s written in the traditional book format but I may end up adapting it into a screenplay as well.

History has its fair share of dark alleys highlighted by acts of cruelty and despair. But despite it all, during these periods of inhumanity, people from all walks of life promoted our better angels and stood up for this country's ideals. Liberty for all and freedom from tyranny🗽

Writers, pls never apologize for promoting your books. Writing a book is a HUGE undertaking. You have every right to bring it to people's attention again and again in the hopes that they might buy and read it. And given how much marketing labor is heaped upon writers, we know you've gotta hustle. ❤️
