Hi - I am hosting an 8-week lab on writing your first book proposal -- fiction or non-fiction. Would love to see you there! Eileen https://www.stage32.com/education/products/write-your-book-proposal-in-8-weeks.
This past week I finished reading "The Instrumentalist" by Harriet Constable.
It's fantastic, and I highly recommend it. It's the best novel I've read in years!

SUPER recommend this!

I just finished "Kill The Dog" by Paul Guyot. It really changed my perspective on writing and formatting rules that have been fairly defined. I had previously followed Chris Vogler's "The Writer's Journey" for years after seeing him at lunch time lecture when I worked at Disney Feature Animation. I...

Will read this. I was 16/17 in 1986 and remember the year well, failed drivers tests, first hangovers, erections for no reason, etc etc etc.
Enjoy reading it! I highly recommend it!
