Passive voice is not a mistake. It is a tool with specific jobs.
"The window was broken sometime before dawn." The mystery is the point. The actor vanishing is doing work.
The real problem is passive voice you did not choose. Over 20 percent in narrative writing and you are probably hiding your actors without realizing it.https://inkbreaker.com/guides/passive-voice

Anna Johnston’s two-book deal bears fruit
Anna Johnston started telling stories at a young age, writing plays and short films for her parents as a child. But she left her storytelling passion behind when she went into healthcare and started her family. A course at the Australian Writers' Centre changed that, reigniting her love of creative writing, and Anna is now celebrating the publication of her debut novel The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife, in a two-book deal with Penguin Random House.

Why tone – not structure – is the real secret to writing a fugal novel
By Pamela Freeman, Director of Creative Writing, Australian Writers’ Centre Most advice on fugal structure in fiction focuses on the mechanics: repeating motifs, alternating voices, mirrored patterns. But as Pamela Freeman, Director of Creative Writing at the Australian Writers' Centre, explains, that formula misses the element that actually makes it work. My novel writing students […]…

Sometimes, ideas are contagious.
https://philosophics.blog/2026/04/12/funny-that/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social
I've been doing a lot of writing around a common theme and generating fiction and nonfiction alike around a common topic. And it's nice to get back to writing some fiction again. It's been a while.
