Late last year, I asked this space: “If you could only recommend one book, what would it be?” No specific genres or themes. No justifications needed. Just a title and author. Mastodon delivered. My return to reading books has been a joyful experience. Many months later, I'm back, looking for more suggestions. Boosts appreciated. [1/2]

It's been a strange few weeks (or months).

A very crappy project has ended, and I feel like it's both a win and a loss at the same time.

#WritersCoffeeClub May17. How do you ‘write what you know’?

If this is based on the idea that you should only write what you know, then I don't and I think that advice is deeply problematic. Write what you want, make it up as you go. As long as you like it, it's worth it.
