I write about writing, Queer stuff, disability, a little horror, Black stuff, the life of inner liberation and the many many awkward missteps in between. My substack is here: https://substack.com/@lahimlamar

Have you ever experienced writer’s block? Well, hello friends. I’m stuck! A frustrating, maddening, knee deep in the muck stuck. A transformative, messy and eye-opening stuck. None of these feelings are singular. They are three-headed, they bite at each other… open.substack.com/pub/lahimlam...

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
