Book lovers, I need your help! I'm trying to think of a modern novel that alternates chapters from present to past, with the same protagonist. Published in the last 5 years. Literary fiction. Any ideas? 💙📚 #booksky

Literary presses are small, but they are important. Just because something’s popular doesn’t mean it’s great, profound, insightful, beautiful, or unique. @andotherstories.bsky.social lizaachilles.com/2025/03/24/l...

Rhaina Cohen’s book The Other Significant Others explores the importance of platonic relationships, like platonic life partners. Partnerships that defy traditional labels can still be deeply fulfilling. Who says love requires romance? #books #booksky 💙 📚

Patrick Bex writes poetry about navigating life as an #aroace - aromantic and asexual. Check out his guest post about this topic on my blog, just released! @fluentlyaspec.bsky.social lizaachilles.com/2025/02/24/n...

I'm genuinely disturbed by this bio. The article was labeled "AI generated." But an AI-generated article is, by definition, not honest, genuine, or thoroughly researched. (The bad grammar/syntax also genuinely disturbs me, but that's nothing new....) #ai #writing #writers

I accidentally ran across this old blog post about Two Novembers being rejected many times. (It's also about Wisconsin!) Definitely one to look back on and smile. ☺️ lizaachilles.com/2020/09/07/d... #writers #wisconsin #rejection
