Asked AI to translate Buddha's Four Noble Truths as if Steve Jobs was doing it:
1. "Life has bugs"
2. "The bug is wanting the wrong things"
3. "You can debug this"
4. "Here's the patch" Buddha was basically a UX designer for consciousness 🧘♂️💻

🚨ATTN: QUERYING AUTHORS🚨
Querying is hard.
No, seriously, it’s HELL.
It’s the WORST thing you’ll EVER have to do as an author. Even if you leave your agent and have to query again, the second time is immensely easier. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. 🌝

There's no way I can do this all in a single Twitter thread, but I at least want to cover the basics as to how a writer goes about structuring a novel. Whether we're talking about outlining, writing, or revising, the following are some ways to build out your manuscript. 🧵

Should you write for the market?
@VS_Antoinette: "It’s always better to write the story that you want and not what you think agents or publishers are looking for. I can often tell when a book is written purely for the joy and love for the craft/genre."

In the manuscripts I edit, there's a HUGE difference between those that were written with an outline and those that were completely pantsed. Having an outline makes revision so much faster and easier, but what's the best way to make one? 🧵

This news, 17 years in the making, and it has taken sweat, grit, love, and patience. Thrilled to announce that my debut novel "The Garden of Delights" will be published by @flametreepress in 2024!!!

To all authors who think they have their characters nodding too much...
I'm reading a NY Times bestselling author's thriller and I swear, in every single chapter, the characters nod at least a dozen times.
Carry on, brave writers. We've got this!

Do you know about Autistic burnout?
Autistic burnout results from chronic life stress & a mismatch of expectations/abilities without adequate support. It’s characterised by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, & reduced tolerance to stimulus.

A young boy from zomato came to deliver some ice cream to a few minutes ago. As I opened the door, I saw him staring in wonder at the row of bookshelves in my front room. Even before handing me d ice -cream, he said, 'Ma'am you have so many books, can you give one to me?1/n
