it is during the proofing stage that you will realize how embarassing writing a whole ass book is.

I hate to bear bad news but TIL the meaning of the phrase "blood is thicker than water" has a longer & more documented history of referring to family ties being the strongest connection between people than the inverse meaning ("blood of the covenant"), which appears to have been made up recently 😭

It's often hard for me to imagine genre swaps because I tailor everything to my genre… BUT the easiest genre swap for 1661, trivially easy, would be to murder mystery. Bunch of rich people with secrets and grudges trapped together in a country house. Only the plot would change! #LGBTQWriteAThon

#LitHodgepodge 20 Ooh I am excited to see that "The secret high-stakes battle" is one! Because I love one of those. #AnthropomorphicNovel has them on a couple of different levels, but I won't explain all the secrets here 🤫 Suffice to say there are secrets on a few levels, and one big subversion 😁
