One of my undergrad professors (who I adore) once told me “Every generation needs its greats. So why not you?” And I think about that OFTEN. 🗣 WHY. NOT. YOU?!?!

"We guessed that most of the authors would be white, but we were shocked by the extent of the inequality once we analyzed the data. Of the 7,124 books for which we identified the author’s race, 95 percent were written by white people." nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

It rained yesterday and the city is smoke free today. I went outside and took huge gulps of clear air, feeling my spirits lift for the first time in weeks. As long as we can breathe, we can fight, and every period of darkness eventually ends.

Worldbuilding! I could spend days just researching and thinking about worldbuilding, the hardest thing is reining it in and not letting the worldbuilding consume the whole story! Thanks for asking!

What aspect of writing comes easiest to you? and which requires special attention? Worldbuilding, character, theme, plot, dialogue, etc.

You actually 'left off' my two favourite interests in #reading (although in truth I spend an equal amount of time w/in the folds of SF/F, dramatic #CosyCrime, Romance & Women's Fiction, etc - #HistoricalFiction & #INSPY Lit are my top favourites - always have been #timetraveller

Being a migraineur, my only routes into #amreading are either print books and/or audiobooks; the latter of which has given me so much #randomJOY through finding narrators who re-inspire me each time I hear their narrations; #blessed to have #Scribd #OverDrive & #CloudLibrary💜🦝

I’m partial to genre mashups. Crime fighting in space! Fantasy procedural with a romance subplot! It’s all good.
