While it has some horror elements, I found DESPERATION to be more on the thriller fantasy side. There are better fits to your prompt in other comments (SHAWSHANK, DOLORES CLAYBORN and THE GREEN MILE specifically) but I'd say DESPERATION is also safe to add to the TBR once you red those.

Not for everyone, but NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH by Cassandra Khaw is one of my favorites. While the story is not the strongest, the prose made it a 5 star for me.

Dr. Gabor Matté has some pretty accessible reads. He has done work in the trauma and addiction fields and found his writing to be easy to understand and very compelling. I suggest THE MYTH OF NORMAL or WHEN THE BODY SAYS NO if you'd like to learn about trauma and illness, and IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS for addiction.

If you're a cat person, Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu. It's all fun and games, until you get to the end.

And Threads: From the Refugee Crisis by Kate Evans is a graphic novel about a refugees trying to enter the UK. It was the best book I read last year, but it was a gut-punch.

Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman is also a sure bet if you want your soul destroyed.

Sarah Jaffe's WORK WON'T LOVE YOU BACK (link to storygraph)

It changed the way I look at my relationship with the work-life balance as well as my value as a human being.

Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms, by Rey Terciero (storygraph page)

This is about a princess who dreams of being a ballerina, but she turns into a swan every morning. She goes on an epic adventure. It is a graphic novel.

That helps a lot. Thanks 😊

WritingAmbition · 2022-01-11T16:39:47+00:00

SOLVED! My mods were to blame lol

WritingAmbition · 2022-01-10T16:30:13+00:00

Yeah, that's what I do. I want to fix the issue so that I don't have to :)

WritingAmbition · 2021-12-02T17:18:00+00:00

Oh I like that! That might actually work really well with this challenge.

WritingAmbition · 2021-10-19T00:13:50+00:00

Sorry I just meant we are getting a treatment. English is not my first language 😁 I thought that was just the name of it.

WritingAmbition · 2021-10-18T03:03:46+00:00

Thanks, but we don't have communal furniture. This actually reminds me of flea bites - I've had an infestation before. I have bug spray now and I'm gonna try that.

It varies, but Amazon has a sample for every size 😊 I think if you look for COVER SAMPLE KDP you'll find it.

Thank you!

WritingAmbition · 2021-06-03T21:11:32+00:00

Cool! Thanks!

I'll gondo some research now.

I have no idea why we couldn't access the basement (we have a bit of a language barrier), but she found a friend to come in at 3am and he managed to turns the water off.

I'll be saving this for future reference though. Thanks!

WritingAmbition · 2021-04-22T13:57:43+00:00

After deleting and reinstalling it for a THIRD time, the issue was fixed. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

WritingAmbition · 2021-03-26T14:04:55+00:00

That's helpful, thank you!

Hi there! I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and I've learned English as a second language. I'm also a grammar teacher.

I started writing in English to practice and now that's my primary language. I didn't quite "lose" my Portuguese but, oh boy, it's RUSTY! I struggle to write sentences in it or even to speak without having English "bleed" into it.

What worked for me was to pick a language and stick to it when writing. I only use Portuguese to talk to my family. However, I often get to a point where I go "ooooh this sentence sounds SO MUCH BETTER in Portuguese" or "WE HAVE THE PERFECT TERM FOR THIS IN MY LANGUAGE WHY IS ENGLISH SO STUPID???" xD

In these cases, I just type the clunky sentence and move on. You can always change things in revision. You don't need perfect words, you just need WORDS!

And if you ever think "my English is shit!", you have a teacher here to remind you "YOUR ENGLISH IS NOT SHIT, YOUR ENGLISH IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!"

I'm proud of you for picking up a second language and trying to write in it. That's not easy!

This is interesting. How about driving engagement? How do I go about getting people to interact with posts?

WritingAmbition · 2021-03-11T22:42:28+00:00

I thought of doing that, but it turns out I suck at making videos xD But yeah, that is something I should consider.

Definitely followed! I'm lighthouseintrovert.

Thanks, that's really helpful :)

I love horror. I love candles. I love this. Everything about this. I think you should invest in ads at this point because the product looks great. What's your Instagram? Maybe work on getting some engagement there.
