HATE that moment right after finishing a book when you realize you’ve just read the last page and you’ll never get to experience the feeling of reading it for the first time again
there is something so special and tender about finding the readers who really really love and get your books. just knowing they're thinking about the characters, wanting more, feeling seen, excited to talk to you.... this is what makes me keep writing. this is unparalleled.
romanticise your life by wearing deep green sweaters and writing beautiful prose in elegant moleskine notebooks and stacking incredible amounts of books all through your house like you are an eccentric wizard
it feels like so much of what we talk about with writing and publishing is about fitting into a mold, but sometimes your work just won’t. break the mold. break the idea of molds altogether. make your own damn mold.
