Oh, but close-third person (which is my POV in my novels) gets you right inside the character's head, just as much as first person. I find that first person is too overwhelming! If "I'm" writing this, then I know too much. I like the very slight distance of close-third

If you mean "wowed by --then it's "Trust" by Hernan Diaz
If you mean "related to strongly" -- then it's "The Names" by Florence Knapp
So-- I urge you to read them both!

LOL thank you for this post! However, I also want 24 more hours per day and probably another set of eyes...

Beautiful quote. Thank you for reminding me of that amazing novel

Thank you for sharing this. As Trump abandons Ukraine, it's so important to keep reminding people about that country's resilience and danger

#bookvember I think the classic may be #AgathaChristie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd." I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it, but--Wow! I read it in middle school & am still in awe

Thx for reminding us of tech innovations of the past. After visiting the #JaneAusten exhibit at the #MorganLibrary, I really appreciate that I don't need to write my novels w/ quill pen & ink! #BookSky #writingcommunity

When and how does this end?

Hmmm...It's not as though I'm less productive on all Mondays or whatever. Of course it depends partly on my nonwriting schedule, but that can change wk to wk. For me, the opposite tactic works: "force yourself to write 1800 words/day"

Thanks for sharing all those other ways to support indies & other non-Amazons. (Also indie bookstores can get many books via #bookshop.org)

Supporting #libraries is good. So is buying books to support writers directly--but remember: DON'T BUY ON AMAZON!! If you don't have a #local #indie #bookstore, you can get almost anything at #BN.com #BookSky #writingcommunity

LOL I have to remember not to love my characters too much bc they have to do & say stupid things in my novels

That's a great idea!

Willa Cather? Does someone in that hellhole read real literature?
