February Finds: Cool Stuff on Substack
I find lots of cool posts on Substack so this is a compilation of a few cool things I found this month that you should check out!
Awareness needs to be made about the harassment of women on the Substack platform, so please read the details about what we can do about it
I felt this post from The Amateur Alcove in my bones as I’m going through a very similar process in my Draft.
Show, Don’t Tell is common writing advice and Flame Tree Publishing makes it easy to understand
Something that I didn’t plan to do with my Substack, but what ended up happening, is talking about how autism impacts my writing and all that comes with putting my writing out there. Autism Writes has this simple overview of what Autism is that is much better than how I could ever explain it
Another post explaining autism in more details that I really liked from Pascale Larivierre:
Putting more colours into the worldbuilding itself is a great idea from Step-by-Step Worldbuilding and I’m inspired already! 👀
Shopping lists or inventory lists in descriptions frustrate me, and Alex Eos has a great perspective on how to better describe characters
Rose Pulford spoke about why romance books are important to the people who enjoy them
I’m constantly struggling on deciding what genre I should be classifying my story and I found this post helpful from Romantasy Realms breaking down foundations of romantasy.
There are some great writing advice tips in here from Bethany Alcott 👏
I want people to agree with me that Corinne is up to no good because whatever Kayleigh Thorpe is writing about this woman, is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.
Here are my own posts from this month:
A post about the words used during sex scenes and how it’s important to me to keep characters consistent by using words my characters would use while they get spicy
Another writing update
My thoughts on a book that claims to be a romantasy (spoiler: I disagree)
I maintain that Corinne is drinking tea and very little more...
Thank you for sharing my writing and I can’t wait to check out these other posts!!
