I've begun work on my next novel, and I can't seem to shake my addiction to the em dash. Why bother?

All things considered, I’d say this was a decent month. #WritingCommunity

I’ve been whining about writers’ block for a month now. Today, I decided to sit down and just start writing. I squeezed out about 1000 words. It’s not much, but it’s a start. #WritingCommunity

My first book, which was about corporate #leadership, got me an interview on a local news program.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Protopia hooked me from the very first pages. The dystopian setting feels realistic and makes you think, while the suspense keeps you turning the pages. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers with depth and action. #dystopia #books #readers #dystopianbooks
