If you’re writing your favorite trope but it’s just not hitting like you hoped, dig into why that trope usually works. Example: the chosen one trope hits because it means magic can come from anywhere, not “this one kid is the only worthwhile kid”. Writing it the second way will fall flat.

Hey authors! If you have a fluffy, lighthearted book, I am collecting ebook donations for my friend who lost her house in the Eaton fire. The loss is so massive, I figure this is one tiny thing that can help with handling all the stuff they have ahead of them. DM or email me if you have donations.

AUTHORS—I AM COLLECTING EBOOKS FOR A FRIEND WHO LOST HER HOME IN THE EATON FIRE “So many day-to-day basics to re-supply. The special things hurt, but the daily things bring it home. Which I don’t have anymore.” I think it’s hard to prioritize non-essentials & our non-book community is working on meeting their needs as stated. I asked her if she would like book donations and she said “some nice fluff” will be most helpful since their lives are stuck in a perpetual cycle of “hurry up and wait.” They have a place to go, but their living situation is “liquid” for a while. Please DM me or send bookfunnel links to me (them (at) latrexanova (dot) com) and I’ll forward them to her to protect her privacy.for anyone else affected: Please feel free to reach out. It’s easy to feel like there are people more deserving than you for any kind of charity, but focused efforts to help rebuild individual lives can have lasting effects that help everyone around you. Everyone I know who had help rebuilding their lives from major disasters or addiction or health issues or whatever else other reasons have all been far more driven to help their communities and uplift people who have had to walk their paths. Organizations and charities and mutual aid, they all cover different aspects of rebuilding. We all deserve stability and safety in this life. The fires don’t prioritize those who are “more deserving,” so let’s us at least try to help those we can.
