Hello Mia!! I’m a little late on this one but glad you’re having fun in the Hamptons (I’ve never been but it somehow shows up in half of my stories as this dreamy destination — someday I will actually vacation there). Proud of all your writing work this summer and everything you’re doing — hope you’re giving yourself a much-needed break as well!
In terms of my own writing update, I’ve been struggling with motivation for fiction, so I’ve decided to write a thought a day without judgement (more of a personal narrative style). On my runs down my new favorite street, I will stop at the end, sit by the water, and get engrossed in explaining some facet of my life or observation I’ve been ruminating on. You’ve inspired me to do this and I’ve been really trying to write without judgement. We are so hard on ourselves as writers! The peace of just putting words on a page, for me, is steadily overcoming that self-criticism.
i’ve always been such a storygraph fan which is why i avoided goodreads for long (2+ years) however i really really wanted the community aspect of goodreads which is why i ultimately made the switch. also ive never loved the goodreads interface, but now i think it’s kind of charming! if u wanna just track books i say storygraph, but if you want the community aspect then go for goodreads
