TFW you've started something new, and it's weird and compelling and different, and you have no idea where it's going, or if anyone else will understand, but you think it just might be the real thing... #ThisWritingLife

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Going to try (again) to start a presence here and LEAVE the other platform. Cheers!

Ok: three days in to #NaNoWriMo and still on track. And embracing Lamott’s idea of a “shitty first draft.” Happy writing all!
