3 ideas for starting your book! ✍🏻

BookTok Hates my Annotating

Okay maybe BookTok doesn’t care. Really I don’t care either. But annotating is one of my favorite things to do as I read! I don’t like to highlight or mark up my books. I was taught from a young age not to write in books, and it’s stuck with me. Which is why annotating tabs and clear sticky not

Two book covers, 'Brutes' and 'Severance,' are displayed with their genres (literary fiction, science fiction) and page counts. Summaries describe 'Brutes' about girls orbiting a missing preacher's daughter and 'Severance' about a woman photographing an abandoned New York.

Character Expressions 🥹

I know for a fact that a lot of us struggle to come up with creative facial expressions in our work. It’s easy to say “they were sad,” to get the point across. But when you say “her smile faded,” that's a great way to convey the sadness you’re looking for. Happy writing! ✍️ #fyp #BookTok
