Seriously, writers have tents now. It’ll be great!

Whatever self-doubt might be holding you back from, it’s never too late to start, as @lynyeowart joyfully attests.
Good morning Sydney (and everyone else, starting to forget there’s anything outside my 5km)
In ep 39 @lynyeowart talks about being a child abuse survivor, how she drew on her experiences in writing her debut novel, The Silent Listener, and the surprising number of readers who have shared their own experiences with her.
More of Zoom should involve flower crowns, Mai tais and @daniveebooks_wordsandnerds
Ep 39 is out today, and it's another rollercoaster! @lynyeowart, debut author of The Silent Listener, shares how her own experience of child abuse fuelled aspects of her dark and twisty novel. But it's not all so serious – we also discuss fascinating aspects of synesthesia, and why it's never too late to start writing.
'Toby was the only one who saw me plunge into the water and he breezily whipped me out ... To the young soul, this is how you rescue someone. It is always an act of physical heroism ... It never occurred to me as a boy that there were other, more difficult ways to rescue someone. A single question would consume my adult life: How do you save a mind?'
We’ve had such great feedback on our ep with @michelle.tom about her debut memoir #TenThousandAftershocks, in which she takes a life of environmental and emotional chaos and from it wrangles an incredible beauty.
I met @sanchwrites after I started following her great Insta posts, and she never ceases to delight me. Follow her for book reviews, cat posts and the best sunrise over Sydney shots 🌅
More from yesterday (b/c who knows when I’ll get out of the house again?)
