As part of my craft review series this year, here are my thoughts on Matt Bell's Refuse to Be Done.

Spoiler: I loved it.

I'm working through writing craft books each morning this year, and first up was Le Guin's Steering the Craft. I found the exercises on POV to be invaluable and appreciated that she didn't wave around formulaic story structure flags.

I was so into the Nebulas "Older Heroes and Protagonists" panel today. One of my favorite stories featuring an older protagonist is Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet.

Do you have a favorite story featuring an older protagonist? Do any of your stories have an older protagonist?

So into the #Nebulas2024 Older Heroes and Protagonists panel today. I would LOVE more art of all sorts featuring people over 40.

Really enjoyed the #Nebulas2024 panels I saw today! I'm super happy to be attending the virtual conference this year. If you have a favorite panel that I need to make time for, please let me know!

If you’re a New Year’s goals/ resolutions/fresh slate/ self improvement / planner person, I’d love to hear how you tackle that and any shareable things you aim to work on next year. #newyear #2024 #resolutions #goals
