@DarlingAxe Death in The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak was a good one. Also facinating to be inside the mind of an autistic boy in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon.

@HerringAli Sorry let me correct my post. It’s called Writing Irresistible First Pages by Mary Kole.

@HerringAli Irresistible First Pages by Mary Kole. Reading it now and it’s great.

@meghan_daum These dispatches are important. Otherwise people who live elsewhere move on when the fires are contained and big media loses interest. The trauma, difficulties, and headaches are ongoing for those who lost their homes and sometimes livelihoods. Thinking of you, Meghan.

"Every single house on the block, on both sides of the street, had burned to rubble. The only thing left standing are the chimneys."

NaNoWriMo is complete! I finished a 50,584 word novel draft in the month of November. Whoever thought up this idea to complete a 50,000 word novel in a month is brilliant. The draft is the most difficult part! #NaNoWriMo2022 #WritingCommunity
