reader, writer, procrastinator of both

finally decided to read ACOTAR after hating on it without reading it - i’m only three chapters in, and i have to say i WAS RIGHT. it’s like wattpad level writing. so repetitive. very not-like-other-girls vibes from the mc, poor world building, bad pacing etc

earnestly trying to finish BOTW since my sister bought me TOTK, but oh my god lynels are so scary. why are they so scary? pure nightmares

[Ciara @cithomp]

severely gutted to not have been able to go to the London book fair, especially after seeing everyone’s tweets about it. between travel and lodgings i couldn’t afford it ���

my little brother knows i’m working on breaking into the publishing now that i’m a graduate, and he got me the most thoughtful Christmas present 🥹 How Words Get Good, The Story of Making a Book by Rebecca Lee. cannot wait to read

[Ciara @cithomp]

im not loving the first episode of Wednesday tbh. there’s aspects that are great but writing/delivery leaves something to be desired imo

[Ciara @cithomp]

@goodreads finally got around to reading the Earthsea series, absolutely classic fantasy, loved it

[Ciara @cithomp]

@PenguinBooks astrology, astronomy and anthropology ✨

[Ciara @cithomp]

@jeannevb @ScriptPipeline always knew. before i could even write i’d scribble a bunch of wiggles on my drawing paper and walk around with my “book”, all my teddies congratulating me lmaoo

[✨🍉CJ Simone is drafting (85k)✨ @thegodathena17]

She’s a 10 but she doesn’t know how to sit down and write her novel

[Ciara @cithomp]

@semiote23 yeah i’d say so. but it depends who i’m talking to, cause on the flip side texting also provides no body language or auditory context- it’s easy to mistake the tone or intention of a text, which can also lead to awkward moments 😅

[Ciara @cithomp]

loved this one so much, space things are so cool

[Robbie Trevino @RobbieSTrevino]

Super excited for the episode "The Very Pulse Of The Machine" from the third season of "Love, Death and Robots". I'm happy to have worked on this and can't wait to share the art behind it. #lovedeathandrobots

[Ciara @cithomp]

@semiote23 maybe cause it’s harder to pick up social/conversational cues without facial and body language to go along with it, leading to more awkward moments like interrupting. and when there’s a long silence there’s no way to let the other person know you’re still happy with their company

[Ciara @cithomp]

@PenguinBooks 🌷 👈🏻, currently writing an essay on it

[Ciara @cithomp]

@BlueCatWriters too many

[Ciara @cithomp]

one of the delivery drivers at my work has published a book! and is trying to get it noticed more. it’s a YA fantasy story, please give it a look!🙏🏻 The Dreamers by Bart Hrob ✨

[Ciara @cithomp]

What does a book editor do?

We shine a light on a day in the life of an editor with Frankie Gray, Publisher at Transworld, where she shares the more unexpected parts of her role in the publishing process.

@rottenwriting whenever i think of a new story, it’s always middle action or end- then i work out how to get to that point backwards. i tend to write chronologically once i’ve figured it all out, but my organising/thinking process is all over the place
