Greetings, #booksky folk. Looking for historical fiction readers and fellow #novelists to follow.

Reportedly, Molly Shannon was utterly inhabited whenever she played her famously reckless character Mary Katherine Gallagher. Author Natalie Hart wonders whether we ought to be more like Molly when we write. Or maybe like MKG. Today at WU.

She banged out nineteen pages of a new novel in the past five days. Experimental form. One character in three timelines in three decades in three countries. What could go wrong, she asked?

Profound essay on change and the liminal space by @lizanashtaylor.bsky.social, today at Writer Unboxed:

Just joined up here at Bluesky and @Threads, @lizanashtaylor. Drop your handle in comments and I'll find you. Buh-bye LinkedIn and 740 TikTok (mostly) bot followers. Ta-ta to 6 Keanus and all you retired generals and surgeons. Staying on FB and Insta as before @lizanashtaylor and @tinyfoxstory.
