Welcome to Litsy!

I have a love/hate relationship with this book. It has excellent advice on finding story ideas, prepping your manuscript, what publishers want, and so on. The things I disliked was its old-fashioned, ableist, transphobic, non-inclusive in general, tone.

That said, I‘m going to keep it so I can refer to the parts of the book that are useful, because I think I can get lots of use out of the exercises Sophie King provides.

This is what I‘m reading at this very moment. So much inspiration ❤️🤘I can tell this will be a useful and important book to turn to during writer‘s block. #writing

Another reason I have been quiet this weekend is this. My partner randomly mentioned one thing he expects to happen in the future, and I am now pouring out words for a dystopian novel. What the?! I've written bits of poetry before but I have never been this inspired.
