Writers are always told about interiority: the need to always refer to the character's thoughts and emotions throughout the story. But when does it get too much? When does it rub against another dictum of fiction writing, showing rather than telling? #writingcommunity #writing

A great read! It surprised me how surreal and psychedelic it came across.

Featured Member's Current Read: Мы (We) by Yevgeny Zamyatin An early example of the classic dystopian novel, written in 1920, published first in English 1924, then in Russian 1952. Considered one of the most influential novels of the 20th century, inspiring Orwell, Vonnegut, Rand, and Nabokov. 💙📚🪐

I’m so excited to share my upcoming @titanbooks.bsky.social novel, WE TURN GRUESOME AT NIGHT, is now available to request on NetGalley!! 💚 www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Would you refuse to have you book translated into the language of a state whose politics you despise? That equates a government with its people. What about its minorities, dissenters, and the frightened silent majority living under repression? #BookSky #Writing www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

I am Max Marioni, I write relatable stories of dark, imaginative fiction that dig deep into the mind, with a hint of contemporary Gothic and the Weird, set in scarred neighbourhoods, forgotten borderlands, and haunted cities. I would forcibly resist being tested for AI neurological biointegration.

Being a writer without reading is like being a musician without listening to music. There are not many Beethovens around. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p... #WritingCommunity #Books #CreativeWriting
