Anyway... one of my pieces of advice to people who are thinking of writing their own books: Don't just read the people you like. Reading the people you admire will set the bar high, perhaps to a level you don't at first feel you can reach.
Instead, read some people you hate.

Duval County itself admitted it ordered the removal all non-vetted books from the shelves
The County says there are now "6,000 book titles approved for classroom use"
But there are 1.6 MILLION TITLES in Duval schools.
Therefore, lots of empty shelves like in Covey's video
Twelfth Planet Press retweeted
DeSantis claimed that the shelves were empty because "they hadn't put the books out yet to begin with."
That is a lie.
The books were removed because teachers in Duval County were told to remove the books or risk violating Florida law
