Relationship processing can be cozy, as @meg8weber learns. Check out our excerpt from Meg's memoir A Year of Mr. Lucky (via @SinCyrP):

@BookPartyChat Connect with other writers – workshops, writing groups, online classes. Read a lot, I’ve learned so much about writing by reading authors I admire. And of course, WRITE. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat I’m working on a second memoir but what it wants to be keeps morphing. So I’m working on some personal essays while that memoir and I negotiate. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat I had to cut a LOT of email that was meaningful to me but didn’t move the story along. And we co-wrote erotica that didn’t fit into the book. Also I never imagined debuting during a pandemic! @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat My family has been excited for me and are mostly not reading the book, which is just fine with me. Friends have been really supportive during the whole process – living it, writing the book, publishing. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat I discovered the difference between pre-writing (notes I’d taken, journal entries) and the polished writing that is necessary for publishing. And also that time really allowed me to move on from this relationship. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat I wanted to write an authentic story of real people who engage in BDSM with consent and passion to push against some of wildly popular kink writing that doesn’t do justice to consent and negotiation. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat Our connection began in email & it allowed him to write himself as a character. Also it’s an intimate peak into relationship that readers aren’t usually allowed. Plus our banter created anticipation. @bookpartychat#bookpartychat
@BookPartyChat The memoir is a mix of the email correspondence between me and Mr. Lucky, vivid accounts of erotic encounters, and narrative investigation of relationships, self-worth, and longing. @madelinedyerUK@bookpartychat#bookpartychat
