Ingres' Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII. From the age of sixteen or Joan dressed like a man. It's one of the reasons she was executed. 400 years after her death, men were still demanding she wear a skirt. #davidelliottbooks#joanofarc#voices#yalit#novelinverse

There never was a Joan of Arc. That is, only we know her by that name. In her lifetime, she was known as The Maid (the Virgin.) Voices: The Final Hours of Joan of Arc enters the world on March 26. Hope you'll consider pre-ordering. #joanofarc#yallit#novelsinverse
A little advice about receiving feedback on your work. If someone tells you they're going to be brutally honest, run! Run as fast you can. That person is more interested in brutality than honesty. #thewritinglife#feedback#creativewriting
