i've been dipping into romance novels to get more of a feel for the romance of this book and tbh i highly recommend this strategy like reading outside your genre WORKS

Hello #writingcommunity! As an introduction (or re-introduction) I'd like to share the cli-fi piece of mine that released today: "We Cast Our Eyes to the Unknowable Now."

Read here for free: grist.org/climate-fict...
An excerpt from "We Cast Our Eyes to the Unknowable Now." "The streets of Koreatown are wounded. Battle scars from the earthquake years gouge Western, Olympic, and Sixth, fissures so wide and deep Christina used to believe the Grand Canyon had grown legs and walked itself across the desert and into their neighborhood." Artwork samples on an orange background. Text reads "12 new climate fiction stories. Read now. Imagine 2200."
