I love love loved the Cleveland Flash Fiction Festival and can’t wait till next year’s. Also loving Flash Fiction America. Also got Aimee Bender’s ...Lemon Cake. I’ve always thought lemon cake was sad
It was even more amazing this year than last! Yes, this FLash Fiction America is such a great book of mentor texts for my own writing. I love Butterfly Lampshade of her's too. SOOOOO magical and weird and lovely.
Hi Tammy! I'm currently working on a novel! I'm in the outlining stages. It will be multiple POVs, and I am halfway through outlining the chapters for my first protagonist. I'm excited to have the creative juices flowing again.
I'm currently reading It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover, and reading/editing a family member's pirate fantasy manuscript. All of these things are very interesting and quality writing! I was in quite the reading rut last year, but seem to be out of it in 2023!
Listening to... hmm, a lot of podcasts. I really love the Gilmore to Say podcast. It feels like the hostesses speak as if they were writing a critical essay on Gilmore Girls and it brings my heart so much joy.
Thanks for sharing your picks! I'll have to dip my toes in.
Hi! It's my first time writing three POVs, so it's a challenge but one I am up for. I've been calling it "Trying" for the past year as I've been brainstorming plots and the characters. I don't think that will be *the* title, but it's fitting for now.
I read Layla and Verity by Hoover in previous years. I loved Layla (it is odd, but still good), and I loved the ending of Verity (overall, the story didn't grip me). I picked up It Ends With Us and absolutely adored it. It's a very serious subject matter, but I thought she approached it and wrote the story beautifully. It Starts With Us is, ironically, the sequel. I'm enjoying it so far!
If you love the show, you'll love Gilmore to Say. Scott Patterson, who plays Luke, also has a podcast where he is watching the show and reacting to it - for the first time! If you enjoy celebrity interviews, I like Call Her Daddy. For wellness/self growth, Jay Shetty's podcast is fantastic. He really makes me think.

Thank you for sharing Julia! Multiple POV novels are so fun. Do you have a working title for your novel?
I have a friend who love Hoover's work.
SO many podcasts....I will have to check out the Gilmore one you mentioned. I love that show but only came to it last year!
Thank you for reading and commenting!
