Sam Tommy @samtommy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You can spend months writing a book… …and a reader can decide whether to keep going within the first few pages.

Sam Tommy @samtommy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Sometimes you can read your manuscript 20 times and still miss the thing that's obvious to everyone else. Not because you're a bad writer. Because you're simply too close to the story. What’s one part of your manuscript you suspect you might be too close to see clearly? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting 251
