Writer’s Notebook: Continual Learning

Writing well involves continual learning. That reminder smacked me in the back of the head after receiving pointed but helpful feedback on the first draft of my book manuscript. Writing is a craft. Work by other published authors serves as a guide on how to improve my own writing skills.

Gorgeous illustrations, dreamlike. A Puritanical nightmare exploration of love, lust, perverse piety, and witch trials.

Pete Dulin rated a book it was amazing The Black Orb by Ewhan Kim	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Brilliant, chilling. An unflinching look at the desperation, despair, and depravity of people, men in particular, in the grip of crisis as society collapses. Dark cautionary tale even as the world leans more and more into the darkness now.
