Latest 5⭐ #read - this very short #book about an Irish girl spending the summer away from her birth parents and receiving love for the first time. 🥹 So much of this reminded me of my own #childhood .

There's a movie, but the book was much preferred!

Probably not relevant to most here, but 5⭐s to this well researched #history of #Nazism in my home region in #Austria . Did you know Göring hid and was captured in the Alps? Yes, it was where I'm from, and no, nobody talks about it. Thank you Otto Müller Verlag! #amreading #BookReview

5⭐s for Amani Ballour's #memoir about her journey as a doctor during wartime in #Syria . Ballour led at an underground hospital within the zone of a siege, without connection to the outside world, without supplies, without electricity.

Out today! This was one of my favorite reads of the year. Can doctors be blamed for the #opioidcrisis ? What if a patient dies from an overdose? A masterpiece by Philip "Read My Book" Eil!

What's your #selfcare routine? Still behind on the #write rfriendschallenge - probably because of all this self care I'm doing! 😆

My main means to find balance is to run! That, and coffee.

I could #write a whole book about this running thing of mine, but I'll leave it at this!

Some musings on how #trauma affects the ability to be a good #friend , and how that made me smile.

#writerfriendschallenge day 22ish - behind as always

#amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writerslift #writechat #amreading

What pitfalls have you found? Mine:
✅ Show don't tell
✅ Don't edit while you write
✅ Don't submit right away
✅ If writing doesn't feel great, you can still put things on the page and flesh out later. Inspiration might come!

It's #WorldPoetryDay according to the #writerfriendschallenge . Here's something I wrote years ago as part of a personal essay about breaking free and finally living.

May I read your #poetry ? 🥹

#amwriting #poem #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writerslift #writechat #newwriter

I don't write #dialogue often, but when I do, a #werewolf speaks. 🐺😆

What fun dialogue have you written?

All caught up with this #writerfriendschallenge - day 20!

What's hard for you when you write?

For me it's the getting started. The forming of an idea when I don't have one yet. My favorite task is editing once something is on the page! Any tips?

#writerfriendschallenge #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writerslift #writechat

What's your most unputdownable #book ? 😆

Mine has been Javier Zamora's memoir. It is unbelievably good and made me unbelievably sad.

#writerfriendschallenge day 16
#amwriting #amreading #book twt

So grateful for tiny wren lit! I never thought I'd create a #poem , but a stressful holiday period came about. My first ever - probably not much to the world but the world to me! 🥹 Can't wait to read all of Issue 6!

#amwriting #poetry #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writechat

Any recommendations on #writing playlists? The #writerfriendschallenge is asking for day 18, and I'm really just turning on 'Deep Focus' over and over until it's time to throw that collection against the wall 😆. Any input welcome!

I chose this quote from Joe Pete for day 15 of the #writerfriendschallenge . It asks for a snippet that made me smile, and I love how it viscerally reminds me of my deep Canadian winters. Thank you Ian McCulloch for these sweeping nature descriptions
#amwriting #amreading #booktwt

Out today!

If you had to create a #story that combines #dystopia , #magicalrealism , and even #mystery , how would you go about it?
