How do you write an engaging first line? First of all, don't sweat this, especially not during a first draft. Your first line only has to accomplish one thing: make your readers curious to go on to the next line. Here are a few tips on how to do that: 1/5 #Writing

E.M. Anderson | THE LORD OF THE WOOD is out now!@elizmanderson.com · 2mo ago

this seems like a good time to remind everyone that while you're waiting for my cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD (six weeks to go!), you can read my cozy fantasy THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS and also you can put it on your Pride lists and stuff bc it's v gay www.elizmanderson.com/keeper-of-lo...

E.M. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits: "An old man cursed with immortality hunts ghosts rather than making mortal friends who will die one day. When residents of an Ohio town beset by a vengeful spirit adopt him as their own, he must decide: leave to protect his heart, or stay to save their lives?" The Keeper of Lonely Spirits's cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers, against a starry blue sky, with the tagline, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome..." Cover and text are in a translucent text box against a photo of yellow flowers in the sunset.10 reasons not to read The Keeper of Lonely Spirits: 1. Most of the ghosts never take corporeal form. 2. "Cozy" but it's all about death and grief. 3. The immortal MC is a man in his seventies instead of a hot 25-year-old. 4. Everyone is queer and/or neurodivergent. 5. Do they ever kiss?? You don't find out until the last page. 6. Loads of yearning. Like. Just. SO much yearning. 7. The found family is just as important as the romance. 8. Everyone needs therapy (one of them actually goes??) 9. Home is a complicated concept. 10. Human connection is important, even though you can get hurt. The Keeper of Lonely Spirits's cover and text are against a starry blue background.Tweet of a one-star review of The Keeper of Lonely Spirits from E.M. Anderson: "Zero point five stars. Everyone is gay, the ghosts have no corporeal form, and the author is obsessed with death and grief. The immortal MC doesn't even look like a hot 25-year-old! I was promised a comfort read, but this is misery. also what's with all the waistcoats." Attached is a partial aesthetic for The Keeper of Lonely Spirits, with images of faded autumn flowers, someone's bare feet balancing on a log, an antique diary, old men holding hands, a sprout growing in a crack, a lonely cottage on a slope with a tree nearby, yellow flowers in the sunset, a man in silhouette sitting alone from the back, and a mortuary statue of a woman kissing the forehead of a corpse. Two text boxes read (1) "You get used to it" and "I hope I never get used to being alone" and (2) "That's what life is. You lose people you love and you love more people and you lose them too, and you" (text cuts off).A trope map for E.M. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits on a background of yellow flowers in the sunset, with text around The Keeper of Lonely Spirits's cover reading: "someone actually goes to therapy?? stop the presses!; tired immortal who just wants to die; straight people? I don't believe they exist; grump and sunshine; vengeful spirit; ghosts. like. so many ghosts; found family; 'I'm fine' (but none of them are fine); running competition to see who has the most tragic backstory; waistcoat enthusiast historian love interest; and ghost-hunting? ghost-therapizing?"

Today is Loving Day and the 59th anniversary of the decision in Loving v. Virginia, the landmark Supreme Court Case that ended the ban on interracial marriage in the U.S. This is a picture of my parents and me circa 1986—a family that would have been illegal in 16 states before 1967. lovingday.org
