@niranjan_p One of the golden rules of fiction, drilled into me by mentors—and for good reason! Showing what a character goes through is far more impactful than just telling. When done well, it feels like a gut punch to the reader too. :D

Asked AI to translate Buddha's Four Noble Truths as if Steve Jobs was doing it:

1. "Life has bugs"
2. "The bug is wanting the wrong things"
3. "You can debug this"
4. "Here's the patch" Buddha was basically a UX designer for consciousness 🧘‍♂️💻

I am totally going to make @niranjan_p do this. :)

My first time in Scotland. The countryside is magnificent. Edinburgh is magical. It's like time stopped here somewhere in the previous century. Loving every second here except it is COLD. My god it is cold. No matter what anyone says, 13 degrees is NOT SUMMER. 🧊😅

@C_H_Armstrong @AnnieWithAnE @christyswift27 @LawrenWLargue @JaquelineSnowe @JamieMcLachlan8 @RMSchieffelbein Cathie, I can't be luckier. It's a privilege to work with you. So grateful to have you in my corner. ❤️🙏

[Darcy Nicholson @darcy_rn]

Here I am, finally in place @BloomsburyBooks 🥳 Agents, authors, please send me your finest commercial and bookclub fiction - romance, comedy, family drama, dilemma fiction, high concept fiction, coming of age and - as always - ANYTHING ABOUT TWINS. I am ready!

🚨ATTN: QUERYING AUTHORS🚨

Querying is hard.

No, seriously, it’s HELL.

It’s the WORST thing you’ll EVER have to do as an author. Even if you leave your agent and have to query again, the second time is immensely easier. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. 🌝

@awkwarishma I love how he thinks. What would have made him an even more exemplary father was if he was more present for his kids. His wife is doing all the raising, and she is mostly doing it alone. By taking a bigger role in their care, he would have set an even better example.

[Soniya Kulkarni is back after a two year hiatus @randomrobin]

@AmitaMurray Yes. I have a few. I met one of them in 7th grade. Our friendship has survived middle school, high school, college in different countries, marriage, divorce and kids. We are solid.

@TaylorLGrothe Waiting with bated breath.

There's no way I can do this all in a single Twitter thread, but I at least want to cover the basics as to how a writer goes about structuring a novel. Whether we're talking about outlining, writing, or revising, the following are some ways to build out your manuscript. 🧵

Look what arrived 👀👀

These are the STUNNING hardcopies of the UK edition of SING ME TO SLEEP and I’m obsessed with them 😍

So excited to have my final copies because wow this whole “being an author” thing is starting to feel real
