Why Are You Here?
Where I humbly ask for your feedback...
Why are you here…? That sounds like a very direct question, but I genuinely would like to know what brings you to this newsletter.
Are you a writer, looking for some encouraging words at this here virtual watercooler? (That’s how I always imagine these places)
Are you an educator, wanting more mystery book recommendations?
Are you here for encouragement, to stay creative in a world that isn’t always kind to creative folk?
I’m sure you’re also here for the occasional Floof picture, but I really would love to know what you would like to see here, so I can be a good friend. Here’s a poll, but please also comment!
And just to shake things up, here’s a picture of George, the latest addition to Casa Fleur. You can all imagine how Floof feels about his presence…
Why Are You Here?
I just finished reading Daybreak on Raven Island, and loved it! The characters were believable and each one had a growth arc. The plot had surprising twists with lots of ghosts! The setting was chillingly vivid. The date and time at the beginning of each chapter increased the tension and kept the story grounded.
I’m doing a creative nonfiction picture book with a scary beginning, so your book is a great example of techniques.
I read all genres and age groups. I’m always open to learning about plotting and tension.
Thanks for a great read!
Keep on writing!
Fleur, as “the one who always shows up” it’s what I do. 🤷🏼♀️ Yes, I’m a writer but it’s so much more than that. I’m traveling so a bit behind in reading emails and blogs but I’m here.
