Another great manuscript! There are so many talented writers out there, and I'm really loving the genre bending risks people are taking. They're paying off!

Just finished "There Is No Antimemetics Division" and will be taking some time before writing my review. Initial impression: compelling premise, well-written, mind-bending, and thought provoking. It was a quick read and had a very different feel than other sci-fi work I've read recently.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Yes! I love how intimate and granular it is, despite its premise and scope. Haunting is a good word for that lonely, desolate feeling.

Book Review: I Who Have Never Known Men β€” Kyleen Wren It really is difficult to nail down exactly what I loved about this one, because it’s literally the overall story itself. It’s the way it’s written. It’s the melancholic, lonely feeling of it. It’s th...

Who has read I Who Have Never Known Men? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I'm welcoming the emerging light and warmth of Imbolc with a candle I recently purchased while on a family trip to Sedona. It's hand carved, and I knew immediately it would be this year's candle. May this season bring gentle reflection and inspiration. πŸ•―πŸ’œ

The Undeniable Force Behind Writing: Humanity β€” Kyleen Wren I’ve always written as a way to understand and express humanity, whereas now it feels more like I write as a way to connect with and celebrate it. That shift feels important.

As an autistic person, I've always been fascinated by humanity, in large part because I didn't know how I fit into it. I've masked pretty effectively in the past, for sure, but it's been an adjustment figuring out my place since unmasking. I'm getting there.

I'm #betareading a manuscript for a new client and it's SO GOOD! One of the best I've read in a while. I really hope we get to see this story published and on bookshelves one day!

My current most used tumbler is one I got from my SIL for Christmas. It's stickerless, but has this cool dragon coming out of a book. Can we see one of your favorite tumblers?

I miss this view! I've been back home for a couple days now, and today I'll be opening up ECHO for the first time in weeks. I'm so thankful for the rest and rejuvenation our family trip brought. Mark my words, though: one day, I'll live where I can write with a view like this!

The kids and I enjoyed outside time today. We even had some snow flurries! β„οΈπŸŒ² This week is for resting, recharging and spending time with family so I can hit the ground running on drafting ECHO when we get home.

Tips For Beta Readers β€” Kyleen Wren I was scrolling Tiktok yesterday, and a writer popped up on my FYP asking about beta reading. It got me thinking back to the first couple manuscripts I beta read, and how completely lost I felt, even ...

Are you a #betareader? Or a #writer, wondering what kind of feedback to request from your beta readers? I share some of my own process, and there's a free beta reader checklist at the end!

sometimes to read a book of poetry is to be reminded that another person is much funnier and better at expressing their pain than you are

Starting the day with chana masala, rice, eggs, and tea. I'm pretty sure that means today is gonna be a good one 🀀

I'm usually more of a rice, egg, nori, fish, and miso for breakfast person, but this is a close second.

What was breakfast for you today?
