I am done with dark academia. And academic romance. No more.
Give me chaotic dentistry. Unhinged mid-level management.

I am obsessed, after finally reading the audiobook version earlier this year. Adored it. Love the tv series too.
Are you narrating the footnotes?

I wrote 800 words by dictating into my phone while walking the dog today. Pretty sure that shifted me out of GenX into GenZ. #writer #writingcommunity πŸ“š

I can understand that! It does get a bit much. I don’t mind the odd short one if it’s for pacing effect.

Any #petpeeves related to the books you’ve recently read?

Mine is use of epigraphs - especially multiple quotes - at the start of books and chapters. I’m heartily sick of it.

Thank you. I’m going to try for a small injection of voice if I can.

A beta reader has made this comment about my synopsis: "It's very matter of fact, without the snarky, humorous tone of your novel. Is this the done thing with a synopsis – to focus on clarity over voice?"

Help! Should I insert more voice into my synopsis?

I've changed to "and" more often. Even if both things can't be done simultaneously.

I must’ve done a previous pass on my ms, changing the sequential β€œand”s to β€œand then”.

Just changed them all back.

What do you think?

Eg: I knocked and (then) entered.
