Same. Been looking forward to it for months and I'm not disappointed

And while I can entirely believe that someone would go on TikTok and act confused about an omniscient narrator, that's a different issue from the "it's actually omniscient" excuse for head hopping in a third person limited story with no omniscient narrator in sight

In practice, head hopping is more often badly constructed third person *limited* - it describes shifting from one limited POV to another without a scene break. If there's an omniscient narrator then there's no head hopping because you're in one consistent POV throughout, that of the narrator itself

Also reminder to romance authors that we only shoot ourselves in the foot if we try to play the "but we're not porn" game. Those of us who write hot/queer already get clipped on a regular basis, but nothing is "respectable" enough. Your turn WILL come.

A fantastic read, well up to CL's usual standard. Got it on release and finished it in a day. No regrets

Head hopping confuses the hell out of me when I'm reading. I don't mind omniscient if I like the narrative voice, but I have thoughts on the difference

Looks good! Can't wait 🤩

Next up for me too, didn't realise it was out today so thanks for the reminder 😍

This season's writers are drunk

"Reskeeting" is the term I've seen most often

Just me being opinionated but using "romance" to describe your book that does not have a happy ever after or a happy for now ending is a very bad, no good idea.

Hell hath no fury like the romance reader misled.

I want to revert my brain to a state before I knew this existed

Including the classic:

A writer leans back on her chair, scrolling on her phone with a cat in her lap and her feet on her desk. A message has popped up on her laptop “How’s that new draft coming along” The writer thinks “Every time I slack off, I get an email from my editor. How does she know that I'm not working?” Behind the writer is a window with long curtains. We can see a pair of woman’s feet protruding from the bottom of the left hand curtain.

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

I promise you, once you free yourself from the notion that other writers are your competition and start viewing them as your fellow weirdos who share similar special interests as you, your life in publishing will become so much easier.

Probably violating planning regulations

Have the people complaining about cat accounts using jokey spellings never heard of lolcats?

It's still my favourite D&D setting and woefully underrated

"Now everyone will know I'm a dickhead!" Somehow, I don't see this going as well for him as he expects

All the time, and more often than I used to

Look forward to reading it! All the best with the final stages 😀

Well deserved. Congratulations!

I have legitimately sold previously skeptical people on UBI just by saying, "You know that dickhead at work who'd rather be anywhere else and just gets in the way? Imagine NEVER having to deal with anyone like that, EVER AGAIN"

I’m seeing a lot of new people joining here today. Welcome!

"Every Sunday, Cornelius Ticketmaster IV drives his Lincoln Navigator nine blocks to check in with his son, Prestige, a DJ and bumfight promoter who lives in a former hospital that the family bought in 2017 and turned into a 'cryptocurrency supper club.' But now, Corn says, it's not in the budget."

And that’s the crux of autism-vaccine fears: It’s not enough to affirm that vaccines don’t cause autism. We also have to affirm that autism is not something to fear, that autistic lives are worth living and supporting, and that autistic people deserve to exist and be loved. 22/
