I'm making a TV series about the different parts of my gas cooker - I've already filmed the pilot.

I failed miserably with my usual book target of 60 last year (only managed 25), so this year I'm going all out to make amends, targeting 95! No chance ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've just bought my friends a new boiler and complete central heating system, as a house warming present.

Hi everyone, a little intro:
I'm a budding fiction writer and I have written in private my whole life due to a massive fear of rejection. But I decided recently that, rejection be damned, I'm going to go for it.
Looking forward to getting involved in the community here ๐Ÿ™‚

Possibly the most interesting thing for me about a writer is how natural their dialogue is. Nell Zink is a favourite of mine with that, as it just zips off the page with a beautiful rhythm.
Any suggestions for authors who are particularly good at writing dialogue?

I'm reading Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, and it's wonderful so far.
Vengeful and Vicious are probably my two favourite VE Schwab novels, and she's written some crackers

A cartoon depicts two armchairs facing each other with a coffee table in between. A lamp stands beside one chair. The chair on the left says "Fuck off" and the other chair replies "No, you fuck off."
