Here's a fascinating approach to #ShortStory #Writing and #Editing.

Unreliable narrators transform the ordinary into a mystery? They turn facts into puzzles, challenging us to question reality itself. A reminder that interpretations can shift like the sands. What are your favorite examples? #booksky #literaryanalysis #writingcraft

Afternoon all! This is @gailaldwin.bsky.social on the account and I'm wondering if starting off the week in the UK with a bank holiday is an advantage for #womenwriters. How are you spending the day? Thanks to Annie Spratt for this photo of wisteria in bloom on #Unsplash

We've been featuring some past #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterviews this week. Today, the spotlight's on @ncashmanfiction.bsky.social and her recently published book, The Crucifix, a #Gothic #Horror story focused on a crucifix. Click on the catch-up thread to learn more about this book and Naomi.

What to read this bank holiday? 'I'm supposed to be doing the garden but I only want to read this book' Bernice, London. Turn Right At The Rainbow books2read.com/rightrainbow #booksilove #humour #househunting #holidayreads

#BonApriltit I have so many scenes in my books involving food! There's foraging, buying, cooking, sitting down to share a meal. There's one important scene where Raven realises her brother has been plied with alcohol and she takes him away from the dinner table before he says the wrong thing. 😅

On #WorldBookDay what are you reading? #WomenWritersNet #WritingCommunity

I wholeheartedly recommend this book; such a fantastic range of stories plus highly motivating craft reflections. Check out #WomenWritersNet for a glimpse into An Honour and a Privilege during our #AuthorInterview with @lindzmcleod.bsky.social this evening. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Q5 You refer to horror (and romance) as 'something where you expect there to be nothing, or nothing where you expect there to be something.' How did genre forms affect how you wrote these stories? @lindzmcleod.bsky.social #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview

Q4 Each of these stories is a collaboration. What advantages and challenges have you found in that process? What do you suggest for people who want to try co-writing a story? @lindzmcleod.bsky.social #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview

Q3 You mention beginning the co-writing process by asking each other, 'What moves you?' Tell us how that figures in your process, and your aims for the book. @lindzmcleod.bsky.social #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview

Q2 An Honour and a Privilege is a unique blend of story and craft discussion. How would you sum up the concept for potential readers? @lindzmcleod.bsky.social #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview
