Oh, I could tattoo every other paragraph on my entire body. Thank you thank you. Love this book, love your words, love the light you put into the world!
Firstly, THH is ALWAYS on my mind. Come September, I'm going to be at every bookstore in my area, shoving your beautiful (and yes, transformative) book into people's hands. You are a fricking genius, it never fails to astound me.
Secondly, I love your thoughts on loneliness, especially as it pertains to writing. One time, someone was talking to me about me and very casually said "and you know, you really like being with people and cultivating community" and it kind of stopped me short because I was like, I DO?! Idk, I love being alone in my bed, reading my books or daydreaming or listening to music. But the more I thought about it, the more I was like...yeah, I really DO have a strong drive to create community. And it really is extra important (at least for me) in this otherwise very lonely act—I sometimes think of it as like, collective dreaming. We're all talking about made-up people in the most serious, wonderful way, and I think that helps us become more inspired in turn.
Anyway! Sorry so long! This probably could've been an email. Every word you speak just speaks to me, whether it's in book form or via newsletter! xoxo
I’m hoping to see you today at the mentor celebration! I’ve got my new address so I need to let Barnes & Noble know where to send my preorder (previously placed) - my never ending list 😂
