Miche (she/her)

I review @michelletang.bsky.social 's DuMort. Beautiful yet bizarre, gentle yet harsh, this novel is a riveting journey of horror and fascination. It evokes the suspense of similar novels in the genre, but in a refreshing style all its own.

I’ve been on a bluesky break but seeing this cover again makes me so excited! ❤️❤️

I like that, the unpredictable nature of predictability 🔥

I found my first gray pubic hair today. Things like this don't normally bother me but this was in my coffee at Starbucks.

Thats what i keep saying to myself 😂

Lol i will need it 😂

Thats true! I guess i am worrying about the payoff not matching the build up, and less about predictability.

This is what im trying to avoid lol

Do you ever worry that the ending is too straightforward or has been done before?

When you’re writing the ending to your book/story, how do you keep it from being too predictable or cliché?
