In A Different Hurricane, Gordon looks back on his life as a closeted gay man from Saint Vincent, meandering through his own memories alongside the journal his wife, Maureen, kept from the day she was diagnosed with AIDS till her death of liver cancer. A Different Hurricane was an interesting novel chronicling the cycles of abuse within families and within Vincentian society at large, with complicated characters who don’t always do what’s best for themselves or for others.

IDK who needs to hear this but (I certainly did) : A chapter is not required to be 2000-4000 words in length (or whatever 'reasonable' amount it is in your head.) A chapter ends where you feel comfortable ending it. You make your own rules!

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR.

Writer friends! If you're on Instagram, check out the hashtag #humanvoicesonly

There are a ton of voice actors and audiobook narrators organizing an event to protest AI voice narration in audiobooks which can steal their jobs, steal our words, and just create shittier audiobooks in general. As part of the event you can submit a small snippet of your writing and have it read by Human Voices Only for the event, which is great for publicity on both sides.

This was the link I found but it looks like there are a lot of narrators participating so look around!
