I love the ones that make mundane things super creepy. I'm a big fan of folk horror.
I enjoyed that one! I was fascinated that you could build a decent story around such an innocent childhood craft.

As someone who navigates a day job in parallel with writing career, I'll also say: this is EVERY industry right now. Sweeping layoffs. Massive pivots. Dropping salaries. Rising productivity metrics. Attention is fractured. It takes more to break thru noise. And venture capital is squeezing everyone
