My partner gave me some writing advice today: when developing any major aspect of your story, you should ask why it is the way it is. If there's another way you could write it that makes more sense, do that. Some stories are frustrating to read because it's not believable that this is the way a specific plot point had to happen.

Do you ever plan to #write and then just…sit there?

😅 I even made tea and everything.

Redux:

This is #November, when the old people would gather for their early #winter #spells and place strange ornaments along the coast. These #rituals were and still are important to keep the Sea #Crone from unleashing her anger.

They use these #charms and #talismans that bring those rays of light on an otherwise angry ocean.

Question for fellow indie authors --
✏️
I'm thinking of dipping my toe back into the audiobook pool.
I published my first novel/audiobook myself via ACX. However, it was costly and hugely time consuming and I'm looking for alternatives.
✏️
Did you use Scribd, Tantor, ACX or someone else? I know I could read/record my books myself but…yeah, that's not happening! Any advice, horror stories - pls send my way! Thanks!
