Two men against a library shelf backdrop. The shorter of the two, Ambrose, has glasses, fair skin, and red hair and wears a dark button-up. His chin is being tilted upward by the taller of the two, Renwick. Renwick has dark brown hair, pale skin, and is holding Ambrose's chin. He wears an open white shirt and many rings and necklaces. A line extends from Renwick, pointing to text that reads: "you are fascinating..."

I've switched to Ellipsus recently after years of using Google Docs and man, it's a relief. I can set it as dark mode, the interface is less cluttered, and it even has a focus mode. I swear the developers looked at ND people and said "how can we help?". So much better.

Four relics down, one to go folks. Almost done with the outline for this section 💪

There's this boomer guy tenderly helping his very elderly dad to a chair in the Cafe I'm in and it was just so heartwarming. The guy clearly loves his dad and it makes a nice change to see.

If you're writing a book, I can't recommend Story Genius by Lisa Cron enough. It's brilliant and will reframe the way you look at your story in a way that will make it so much better.

Gosh. Just *shocked* to discover that "Freedom in the Arts" isn't actually an artistic freedom org.
It's a GC org with a sideline in Islamophobia and racism.
Because of course it is.

There is no competition in the #writingcommunity

Not once have I not sold a book because a fellow writers sold a book. The #readingcommunity loves books. They buy all the books. If they didn't buy your book today, they will certainly buy your book tomorrow.

We love writing and they love reading.
