All stories - all art of any kind - begins with three letters - "who," "why," and "how."
Art is born of curiosity and the need to learn the truth and facts... of the character(s), of the driving force(s), of the means/manner/way what happens happened.

The best poetry, in my mind is rooted in the here and now, yet always relevant, always timeless.

Minnesota's indie bookstores are standing up for the right to speak, assemble, and be heard. Here's how readers everywhere can stand with them:
I need to be so busy I can't doomscroll. I want to find amazing projects and spread joy and positive messages. So, I'm reopening to queries for a week or up to 500 submissions, whichever comes first, starting February 9th. Looking particular for unique perspectives and fresh voices.
I feel the same but with all social media.
I like Brynne Weaver's books (serial killers falling in love with serial killers killing serial killers). I'm not sure if they fit the exact parameters for action/thrillers BUT they're good 'n spicy/fiery AND gory with murdery/sexual tension and [justifiable?] homicide. JS. 🤷🏿♀️
I am greatly appreciating this current trend of action/thrillers with whole ass good romances in them. Drop has one too and it totally works.

Most writing advice tells you to cut ruthlessly.
But what if some of the most powerful writing happens in the spaces between your “important” scenes?
Author Seth Harwood offers powerful insight into storytelling using Raymond Carver as an example.
WHO graphic titled “Measles can be fatal – Know the symptoms.” A child’s face and body are shown with red spots. Labels point to symptoms: rash starting on the face and spreading over the body, fever, red and watery eyes, runny nose, small white spots inside the cheeks, and cough.
Measles can be fatal.
Do you know its symptoms?
🔴 Rash that starts on the face and spreads over the body
🔴 Fever
🔴 Cough
🔴 Red and watery eyes

Seek health care if you suspect you or your child has measles. 🔗bit.ly/4iq4nkD
