#WriteCBC tip from @joannamillerauthor.bsky.social: Sparing use of surprising or unusual imagery can make a scene pop for a reader and help to layer character. Consider what figurative language your character might use and what it reveals about them on a subconscious level.

#WriteCBC task from @joannamillerauthor.bsky.social: Your character is wandering around a museum looking for a person or an object. Use specific detail and surprising imagery to reflect their state of mind. Perhaps they are hiding something from others – or even from themselves?

As we get to the very end of June I thought I'd post my top reads of the year so far (from books that are already published) As I read a pretty much 50/50 split of fiction & non fiction I thought I'd do the same here but it was far harder to narrow the non fiction down! 💙📚 #BookSky

A grid of six books in two rows.
The three non fiction books on the top are
Between Two Rivers by Moudhy Al-Rashid
Mythica by Emily Hauser
Florrie by Anna Trench

The three fiction books on the bottom row are
When The Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
The Eights by Joanna Miller
The Wager and the Bear by John Ironsides
