⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “If you were my student … “

Some interesting writing tips from a (personally) extremely hit-or-miss fiction author. Loved the conversational tone, but I wish Palahniuk had read the audio himself. Also, gross cover, but I‘m not in the least surprised by the off-putting quirk.

Megabooks So glad you‘re back to writing reviews! 2y

I'm not a writer, but if I were, this would be a fantastic how-to for that craft. Conversational, completely readable, perfectly formatted. I really enjoyed this read.

(quarantine book 79; read a how-to)

NYC Littens... The Strand is hosting one of my favorite authors on Saturday the 25th. Naturally, I'll be on vacation due to Murphy's Law. 😭 @MrBook @Kaylamburson
