Thank you for posting this, they reached out to me and I got kind of a bad vibe.

And through all the problems there are these glimmers of joy because the whole thing is worthwhile as long as you love it.

💜 Thank you. I know it's the right call, it's just Negativity Brain's worst nightmare. Like "here are all my invisible vulnerabilities, have fun." But if someone can relate and grow along with Willa, that'll be worth it.

I poured myself into this character, and I know that I'm not a cliché. I'm not changing these traits, because they're me. Still nervous, though.

She's short (I'm short).
She experienced parent loss (my mom passed when I was 14).
She struggles with perfectionism, anxiety, low self-esteem, social misunderstandings, and people-pleasing (like me). 🧵

Today, I join the trenches.

It's been 20 years since I graduated with a cum laude fiction degree, reading and writing without querying, but now I believe in this book with my whole soul.

Oh awesome! I'll definitely check those out, my husband LOVES OC ReMix!

I’ll go first: horror video game music, especially Silent Hill. Akira Yamaoka’s stuff is somehow spooky and relaxing at the same time.

Right?? I found a few of those too. The funny thing is, I never say "perhaps" in real life, so why on earth would my teen narrator? 🙄
