Rich Rubin<p>Hello fellow <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> lovers! I’m hard at work on my contemporary <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/YA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YA</span></a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/WIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WIP</span></a> and would like to ask for feedback on a potential title for my next book. You know, ask for collective feedback from the fediverse. Without knowing the plot, what are your thoughts on “Functional Baggage” as a title? Previous crowd-sourced questions &amp; feedback are farther back in this thread. I still haven’t committed to any one title. <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/authors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authors</span></a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/authorsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authorsofmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amwriting</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>

Shantell Powell<p>I'm used to reading aloud. I've done a LOT of readings, including hour-long readings without once ever stumbling over my lines. Last night, possibly because I'd had a headache and gut issues all day, I stumbled three times during my reading, improvising and remixing my sentences as I went so it didn't sound awkward. And what do you know, it worked. The audience was literally leaning into my words. </p><p>The other authors did fantastic jobs. I want to buy all their books. </p><p>Afterwards, I bought Cherie Dimaline's "Hunting By Stars," and she signed it for me. <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AuthorsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Horror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorWriters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorWriters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndigenousCreatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousCreatives</span></a></p>
