Hey #Booksky, Vow of Ashes just might be @ddalglish.com’s best work yet, an emotionally raw and deeply moving story about dignity in death and the nature of commitment. It’s remarkable how much of a punch it packs into so small a page count. Read it, and have some tissues handy. 100% recommended!

This has always been the case. “Go Woke, Get Broke” has always been clownish untruth. No movie has ever failed because of Black folks, POC, LQBTQ+, or women. There are a myriad of other reasons why some movies fail to connect. But bigoted chuds don’t have that kind of power.

Writing books is hard. Writing my most recent book was HARD hard. For more on my process, the way the story grew and changed, and the lessons I had to ignore, here's a (fairly) brief write-up. (Also Knight of the Chalice is out, and you should totally get a copy, guys!) #Booksky #author

Writing KNIGHT OF THE CHALICE

It’s a cliché to say writing a novel is a labor of love, but it’s true. Both parts. I would only write 100,000+ words of a story if I were truly invested in it, but it’s still ver…

First draft, no. I just trust that smarter people than me will read that draft and tell me what I need to fix. By the third draft or so, however, I start getting a decent sense of “hey, this is beginning to feel like it won’t totally embarrass me if strangers read it!”

Shona Kinsella@shonak.bsky.social · last mo.

Writers! I’m curious - when you are writing, do you have a sense of how good or otherwise the work is? Can you tell if a particular book/story/poem is better or worse than any other piece you have produced?

Hey #Booksky, here's a quick preview of Knight of the Chalice a story of knights, delusion, monsters, and second chances, out 7/7: "All my life, I believed in heroes. "Men whose nobility wasn’t given by birth, who stood up to injustice, protected the innocent, and accomplished great deeds. 1/3
