THIS. This is why when I’m asked to advise new writers, my advice is always: read. Read a shit-ton. Read fiction, non-fiction, inside and out of your preferred genres. Be omnivorous. Because your VOICE comes from what your brain does when all the words you ingested come back out unique to you.

Hi, new followers! Now that I've officially moved here from the bird site, I'd like to introduce myself & my work. I'm a paleographer, codicologist, and specialist in the study of pre-1600 European manuscripts and manuscript culture. I'm particularly interested in how MSS ended up in US collections.

If you have +billion $, a PR team, and start acting and dressing differently at 40? Then you are trying to "remake your image." Otherwise, it's just a sparkling Midlife Crisis.
