#Writers I thought of a new game: Pitch me your book in the style of an #AmITheAsshole Reddit post! I'll tell you whether or not your MC is the asshole đ

#writetip When writing your characters, give them weaknesses. Their weaknesses are what will make them interesting and relatable to your readers.
A character who is perfect doesn't hold the same appeal as a character with flaws.

In honor of #EarthDay, from Amanda Gormanâs âEarthwiseâ:

ALT Graphic with leaves and clip art of Earth, text reads: So I tell you this not to scare you, But to prepare you, to dare you To dream a different reality, Where despite disparities We all care to protect this world, This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel To muster the verve and the nerve To see how we can serve Our planet. Amanda Gorman
