TB is doing the final read of Lizzie, and she can’t stress enough, how much she hates this stage for any book. But, just to the hammer the point home, she HATES it. In I Heart Lesfic news, TB is combing through all the 2022 submissions for the IHL Reading Challenge, to see which categories made the cut. TB went hiking and sported her bright orange hoodie for the first time of the season.
Clare is plotting her NaNo book, and her new coworking space is very calming. In not peaceful news, Clare had an audiobook snafu. Yikes! She’s trying to decide if her Scottish book needs a narrator with a Scottish accent or if that will throw off listeners. In birthday news, which was in September, Clare is still going full-tilt celebrating the big 5-O by having a spa day with a friend.
They crash on to breaking down the grand gesture. Just how grand are they? Many might not know the phrase, but they are central in books and movies. TB takes the reins of this conversation, walking the listener through the definition as well as the usual placement in the story and breaking down the different types. Are the best ones super showy, or is it better to have the character show vulnerability? That depends on the story arc and character development. Most importantly, you want to give the readers all the feels.
What’s your favorite grand gesture you’ve read?

Happy listening!
Clare and TB
