Thinking about book titles. Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head is truly exceptional. So is What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky. Another that must be mentioned is one of my fav short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies. As the young folk say, Jhumpa Lahiri ATE that!

This book is a beautifully harsh discussion about the politics of identity, journalism, power, resistance and the self interest/complacency of western liberalism, among many other things. It’s an essential read.

Photo of the book One day, everyone will have always been against this by Omar El Akkad. The cover is fully red with the small black silhouette of a child and a missile falling towards them.

Oh that was a very nice afternoon on Stokksnes beach a couple of weeks ago :) #Iceland #CanonR6markii

An orange sky on the right reflected in an incoming wave on a black sand beach. There are dark clouds in the top middle, covering some pointy mountains on the left. Below are some dark rocks on the wet black sand, and more white waves.

I saw my husband at his desk with his head in his hands & I thought something was really wrong. I went over to ask him if he was OK & he said, “I’m fine. there’s just not enough time to read all the books I want to read.”

On why writing groups are important, Brandon Sanderson says 'Success breeds success.' So true. It is very important to surrounds yourself/ work with those serious about their craft.

Going to have to cut a character I really like from my novel. I want to keep her, she's so fun but ultimately doesn't add much to the main story. Is this what they meant by kill your darlings? *cries in somali*
