Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, he is playing a violin.

“Holmes withdrew, picking up his violin from the corner as he passed. A few moments later the long-drawn, wailing notes of that most haunting of tunes came faintly through the closed door of the bedroom.” ~ The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone (1921), Arthur Conan Doyle.

A photo that reads: The Pitch! It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions. When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

"My writing process is not broken."

Do you think we’ll get anymore today or is that it for today?

Some big news this morning

www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

Our enemies would like us to be hopeless and helpless; let's not give them the satisfaction. 😈

Remember: Books are important. YOUR books are important. YOU are important.

The work of authors and artists is potentially the greatest weapon we have against fascism.

(They know it, too - why else would they try so hard to ban books, restrict access to libraries, and on and on?)

It's more important than ever to support your public library. #Libraries are community. They are about opening minds and opening doors. Get a library card, and check out books. Download Libby. Libraries need the stats for funding, which is now uncertain. And thank your librarian.

We love you.
