I love that its one job is just that. No notifications. No updating or rating an app. Just press record and go. I take it with my everywhere and can ramble on and pause for as long as I want.

Contrast is what makes a story interesting. For example, I had two characters in my story that got along really well going on their journey together.

It needs to be effortless for the reader to follow while maintainable for me to keep everything straight, especially when jumping forwards/backwards in segments of the novel. #authorksy #booksky #amwriting06 Oct 2025 19:08 +0000at://did:plc:id7cmp6h736tccgprp5z3j4y/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2kcqyzb722nhttps://bsky.app/profile/adamjgrant.substack.com/post/3m2i5ylzxkc2g20% into Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy. Do not read if the slightest bit thirsty and away from water.

Finished it in a couple days. I just fell into it. I can't remember the last time I read a book where my heart was racing the whole time. Not great for character complexity but it hits the mark as a solid action novel. #booksky03 Oct 2025 19:14 +0000at://did:plc:id7cmp6h736tccgprp5z3j4y/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2croaaoe22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/adamjgrant.substack.com/post/3m2cbt5aias2z#Plototber Adam Grant. I work for Apple in Cupertino by day. By night I'm working on a Novel about a supposed miracle mental health pill. Suicide rates plummet, trauma is healed but one investigator must weigh exposing the shocking hidden cost against the good of humanity and his family. #booksky [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Oct 2025 14:30 +0000at://did:plc:id7cmp6h736tccgprp5z3j4y/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2cbt5aias2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/adamjgrant.substack.com/post/3m25fqs2jl22k🟢Done 🟡Rewrite I stepped away to explain my novel to myself: why certain characters exist, why they have their quirks, how elements contribute to the narrative. The result was turning a bunch of 🟢s to 🟡s. Sucks to have to redo but I know the story will be much better for it. #authorsky #writersky01 Oct 2025 15:57 +0000at://did:plc:id7cmp6h736tccgprp5z3j4y/app.bsky.feed.post/3m25fqs2jl22k
