Welcome to Murder-World: Book 1

This is by far my most popular book as it's a dystopian book with violence, found friendship, and miles of heart.

Who would have thought that a book about fighting those who oppresse you could be so much damn fun.

As for descriptions, including the highly specific ones—my icon is Janet Fitch. What she does in White Oleander makes me want to reread it forever, and then try literally everything she mentions.

Hello #SummerOfStory!

Day 22: Specificity

Disclaimer: This is a prompt game to discuss common writing tips & techniques, not an attempt to tell people how to write.

Over to you: Do you write stories that pile on detail, or do you to let the reader’s imagination fill the gaps?

#WritingPrompt
1: Title, Date, & Prompt Introduction This slide features a large torn piece of lined paper with the text 'August 22nd' at the top and the writing prompt 'Specificity' in big script letters. There is a typewriter in the corner with a note saying 'TOOLS not RULES'. On the right, there is a speech bubble with prompt questions, a Bluesky butterfly, and a palm leaf background. Transcription: August 22nd Specificity What's your take on this writing technique? Have you used it before — or do you avoid it? Share your thoughts, drop a snippet, or tell us how you'd use it in a scene. 2: What & Why This slide looks like a piece of lined notebook paper with teal palm leaves in the background. Headings 'What?' and 'Why?' are taped to the page. It explains what specificity in writing is and why it matters. A blue butterfly decorates the corner. Transcription: What? Use Specific, concrete language instead of vague or abstract terms. Instead of writing she poured herself a drink, write she tipped a dram of Lagavulin into the tumbler. Why? While vague language asks the reader to do the heavy lifting, specificity guides the reader toward a single, vivid picture instead of a blur of possibilities, drawing them deeper into the story. Used well, precision doesn't just add detail; it heightens engagement and makes the writing memorable. 3: In Practice This slide looks like a piece of graph paper with teal palm leaves in the background. On the left, an excerpt from George Orwell's 1984 appears in a beige box. On the right, a taped paper section explains a writing example, with a Bluesky butterfly decoration. Transcription: Specificity in Action: 1984 [Excerpt from 1984 by George Orwell] It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. In the opening paragraphs of '1984', Orwell doesn't just tell us Winston lives in a shabby block; he makes us smell the boiled cabbage, see the varicose ulcer, feel the gritty dust. Each detail is precise, and together they build a whole world in a few paragraphs. Counterpoint: Some might argue too much specificity risks bogging down the pacing with too much det… 4: What do you think? This slide is a torn piece of paper with discussion questions for writers about using specificity in writing. There's a speech bubble repeating 'TOOLS not RULES', a Bluesky butterfly, and palm fronds in the background. Transcription: What do you think? What's your take on Specificity in Writing? Do you prefer crisp, concrete detail that paints a clear picture, or do you lean toward leaving space for the reader's imagination? Can you share a snippet where a single detail made the scene sharper, funnier, sadder, or more alive? Share your thoughts, drop a snippet, or share an example you love (or hate). Hot takes welcome — just please don't set anyone on fire!

So I’m 19 books into 2025 and I just realized… I’ve not read anything from a male author. Completely unintentional. But now I feel like I need to show the men some love.
Give me some book recommendations from male authors. #bookrecomendations

Tumblr user thecosmicpunk: Reading is political. They've burned books in the past. They're banning books now. Reading is political. They want to cut funding from libraries. To have access to books is a privilege. Please sign up for a library card at your local Library, it helps even if you don't use it much. If you can't often go to the library in person you can use your library card to get ebooks and audiobooks from the Libby app. Reading is political. It doesn't matter what kind of book, fantasy, romance, horror, nonfiction, it doesn't have to be anything revolutionary, just read what brings you joy. Joy is resistance. What are you reading right now?
