"Worry comes with the territory. But if you set out on your path, it’ll become worth it. The journey is half the fun, especially if taken with a sense of discovery and adventure. The alternative is to do nothing. To sit in terror and become bitter."
The give up: What do writers do when we arrive at the end of our chains? Give up? Sure, but you should remember this first.

Finally saw a copy of Taipei at Daybreak in the wild! This was at the NTU Eslite. I'm told it's the last one in Eslite in all of Taiwan. If you want them to stock more in brick-and-mortar stores in Taiwan, it may help to order online from Eslite!

Rosa Kwon Easton and Hyeseung Song in conversation about Rosa’s debut novel, WHITE MULBERRY.
Inspired by Easton’s grandmother, WHITE MULBERRY is a rich and moving story of a Korean woman who moves to Japan in the 1930s to pursue her dream of living an independent life.
So worth a read! #booksky
