I met a writer recently. She’s hugely talented and motivated, willing to do the work. But her husband isn’t a fan of the writing. He thinks it’s a waste of time, the odds too much against her. I don’t want that to matter for her, but it does. It matters so much to have the support at home… for the days when it’s hard. And there are a lot of those days.
The graph of a thriller
It’s a bizarre thing to see the emotions that come with reading a book in the form of a graph, but this one does a pretty good job of mapping out the revelations when it’s done well. For a pantser like me (that is someone who doesn’t plot a book out), this happens mostly by intuition and, as far as I can tell, a little big of magic.
#sistertalk
My sister visited Montana and we put together a whole bunch of videos, including some #sistertalk. Go over to videos and check us out. These videos were so much fun to create and I think they’re pretty fun to watch, too!
Book events in COVID
People are reading more. That’s the good news. The bad news is there are no events, no readings, no author meet and greets. I miss people.
