@Stacey_Dighton I did, not so much describing it in a dirty way but the emotions along the way. It was a good exercise to see if I could write it. Now that I am editing the book I am thinking of having a version with and without the sexy details and see which one is better.

It’s chai time!

Congratulations to Shankari Chandran, winner of the 2023 #MilesFranklin for Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens (Ultimo Press).

A novel of whimsy and wit that also explores deeper, darker themes.

@ChadRAllen I didn't enter the survey but I listen to Symphonic Metal on Spotify via my laptop. The energy of metal music pumps me to write and the words don't really matter that much in metal 😂

Last photo of #Afghan commandos taken by journalist @dansiddiqui. He killed last night in a #Taliban ambush. Sidiqi was embedded with #ANDSF in #Kandahar. He was a well known #Indian journalist & winner of Pulitzer Prize.

When writing a story, is it ok to make references to other well knows books? For example referring to a castle that looks like Hogwarts or house elfs?
Not actually taking those terms but the characters may refer to them?

@AuthorCDavis Same! Found myself on a Scottish baby names site :)

@TheDragonVet I'll follow anyone who follows me :)
