Do you use working titles? Do you wait till you finish a book to name it, or is the name you start with the name you end with? . I’d convinced myself that “Keshkin” was the title. Now I’m not sure. Thinking about the way the story has changed since the beginning, and I’m thinking the title is about to change. . We’ll see. . . . . #writingchallenges #authorsofinstagram #writing #authoringhappiness #keshkin #yeshvara #thesunderingchronicles (at Westborough, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuv-flrw5F/?igshid=1k9v40nc07ekk

There is no “I hope” to succeed. I will succeed.

What’s your word of the year/month/day.

[emephalvaradowrites]

Reminder that academia isn’t just an aesthetic but a way of living that allows you to see all the beauty in the world, to learn to your hearts content for the sake of learning, and to embrace human resilience and creation. It is NOT an excuse to think you’re better than anyone who “hAsnT rEad sHaKEspEaRe” nor is it required that you “look a certain way”. Wanna go all grunge and learn about Greek mythology? Wanna wear pastels and flower print while reading Dante’s Inferno? Wanna wear sweats and research Egyptian curses? Go for it! You aren’t bound to one aesthetic and should not feel pressured to look or behave a certain way! To me academia is about learning and love. Regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, disability, etc. You are welcome here <3

Damn

Don’t say the shooter’s name.

The dude who shot up two mosques in Christchurch New Zealand did so for two reasons: because he is a racist fucker, and because he wants to be a famous shooter. So don’t give him that. Don’t say his name, don’t share his face. Let him be a nameless, faceless nobody. Share the names of those he killed – remember them. But make the shooter as unknown as possible. He doesn’t deserve to have his name known.

ACOTAR THOUGHTS

Okay y’all. Bear with me here. I’m at Chapter 7 of the audible version of this book. I’m going to keep this SPOILER FREE.

@sarahjmaas has gained a new follower. I’m dancing happily down the path of the fandom, cackling my ass off.

The one thing I like about her writing is the build up over the course of the series. One would think that her writing was not top notch, weak even, if the you left at the first book of her series. I though so briefly while winnowing my way I though ToG. In fact, I had to go Audible to get past the first few chapters. (Sorry, Sarah!). But I’m so glad I did.

Now this series is doing almost the same thing. I was more invested after meeting the Fae before; so I was happy to bypass Feyre and the way I wanted to pop her. And Rysand. And Tamlin. Lucien started with a straight pass just because he was Lucien.

Now, I’ve got to say. Between Maas’ story and Amanda Leigh Cobb’s current narrative, they got me cackling and weak! B*tches are wilding now and I’m here for it.

If you’re on the fence with this series JUMP OFF. Do it. Let it do you.

You won’t be sorry.
