So I’m reviewing a novel & writing about how her dialogue now, & writing my own novel with dialogue. @shanders.bsky.social crafts brilliant dialogue. Good dialogue is only one thing. Intimately knowing your characters & their dynamics with each other. Completely enter them, feel what they would say.

I love shouting to everyone in earshot that I wrote books so I think these writers who complain about how hard book marketing is are some punks who should've never written a book if they're not proud enough about it to tell all in the world so they can read it. @shanders.bsky.social

And crucial for Black artists, especially Black writers, & our Black & non Black audiences to get. We do Black culture, which our Black art emerges from, for each other's gaze. You see it as voyeurs. @mewefree.bsky.social @shanders.bsky.social @upfromsumdirt.blacksky.app @cerromerussell.blacksky.app
