My best writing resource of the month is Ann Patchett’s annotated edition of Bel Canto. This sounds more earnest than I mean it to but it’s given me permission to revise -- I know this is against all the advice I’ve paid so much money for other people to give me -- at the line level. It’s a real delight and my favorite use of $28 in recent memory.
I'm with you on the handwriting thing, but I think I do some worthwhile editing when I transfer it over. I'm not sure the robot could help me with that. =) Cheers!
Fab wrap up! Yes I also take screenshots of relevant writing stuff: and only circle back occasionally. Goal: create albums. I have successfully created an album of recent book covers I love (small win!)
I looooove this new series!! You are just bursting with resources and help!!
I appreciate your kindness and encouragement so much, Brit!
She gives a great two-part interview on The Book Case about the project. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Iz6AhfwuQ7xeH2MSBLAIA?si=mSbJgioqQ4W_TQX8S1r-iQ

LOVE Bel Canto! (Reading it got me into opera for a brief period of time). I need to check this out!

Oh, absolutely! Great editing happens while transcribing.

That should be my next step — to sort the screenshots into albums. Much less daunting if you have under 18,000 photos 😆
Anna, I love this! There's so much good stuff to read and thank you so much for including me / Pine State! <3
Thank YOU for such a helpful and brilliant piece of genre analysis
