šŸ“¢TEN TIPS to help you find your voice as a writeršŸ“¢

1. Discovering your writing voice takes time and practice. Don't be afraid to experiment and try new things.

#writingtips #WritingCommunity #creativity
2. Read widely and often to find inspiration for your own writing style. Never copy someone else's style, but learn from other writers to figure out what you like.

3. Tailor your voice to what you're writing. A contemporary thriller written as ancient Greek sophist probably won't work. But there are no rules and you never know until you try...

Wooot!!!

Today I wanted to share with you the first page of my story with Erik Lervold, Battle Royale.

For years, the main criticism of Cthulhu is Hard to Spell was that the cover did not relate to any of the interior stories.

Well, we fixed that this year by creating a story related very heavily to the awesome cover by Aaron Alexovich.
Our story features a drag down wrestling match between Cthulhu and Zeus with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance.

What's the one #STEM-y book to read this year? Check out @yudapearl THE BOOK OF WHY amazon.ae/dp/0141982411/ā€¦

Why, you might ask? šŸ˜‰ His work helps scientists learn about the šŸŒŽ & avoid flawed conclusions šŸ‘‰ can help you do the same! A THREAD... šŸ§µ: (1/)

@yudapearl set out to create true #AI in computer science in the 80s, but couldn't find a way to make machines learn from data. It didn't matter how good the data was, machines couldn't identify *relevant* vs. *irrelevant* patterns. (2/)
For example, @Google famously invented an #AI algorithm that learned to identify cats in @YouTube videos. That's cool, but how does a machine know when we want to identify a cat because we want to adopt one *or* b/c we are searching for our cat that ran away šŸ˜æ? (3/)

First Sunday of February and I still can't decide between "The year will go in flash" and "Farewell January, you sure took your time". I'd better stick to my Sunday routine and share the reads about #Africa, #Feminism, & #WomensRights that stuck with me.

#SundayRead #amreading
This one is my favorite. @OhTimehin ushers us into the so-called 'month of love' in the most powerful way. I stan a fierce #Afrifem with a sharp mind and superb writing skills.

The capacity patriarchy has of reinventing itself is the scariest thing.

Exhibit 45212348 (sorry for any inaccuracies, I'm being conservative here): Men in parts of East Africa are coercing women into breastfeeding them. Trash šŸš®.

FYI although its Saturday afternoon, this isnā€™t an academic overwork humblebrag. I just really want to finish this book! I mean, my kids are great, but do they dunk on collectors of fake precolumbian antiquities as magnificently as Nancy L. Kelker? Image
I think sheā€™s referring to this utterly ridiculous object (bbc.com/news/world-latā€¦) Image

A diversity website w/DEI mission & goals, fully populated committee, & plans for or initiated programming are something, but I'd feel infinitely better knowing those in charge had an equity reading list & reflection plan.
What would you recommend for a robust #EquityReadingList?
I'll start:
@SaraNAhmed's "On Being Included"

The #Reads for the Rest of Us list for Dec is coming soon @MsMagazine! I'm also working on the mother of all "most anticipated" reads (by women, #TGNC, #queer, #fat, #immigrant, #neurodivergent, international, and otherwise underrepresented writers) of 2020 list.
It's a big job! I have over 300 titles that I am sifting thru; so many look fantastic. #Fiction, #nonfiction, #poetry, and more. Some I've already #read, others not yet. I've heard from or reached out to over 65 #publishers and #publicists, they are working hard for you!
Do I know about your #newbook? Message me, email me, Tweet me, if you're not sure. My goal is to help raise visibility of historically marginalized #writers. I'm so lucky to get to learn about and read your amazing work along the way!

I've gotten questions about whether I'm still accepting emails, catalogs, galleys for consideration for my Ms lists and other reviews. YES, I am! This is more true now: I want to know about all your #feminist, #queer, POC, WOC, womxnist, trans, enby, neurodivergent, etc books!
If you don't know how to get me, send me a message and I will get you the info. More info about what I'm looking for: look at the intro of any Ms #Reads for the Rest of Us list msmagazine.com/tag/feminist-kā€¦ AND/OR my review policy page: karlajstrand.com/review-policy/
