This might seem like a subtle difference, but it's an important one: you can wish harm to your opponents, or you can wish they cease to be able to harm. I like to think a lot of what I hope for is the latter if I cheer chaos and setbacks and scandals.

Think of all the local bookstores that are opening their doors right now, turning on the lights to reveal the thousands of books you want to read.

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.
So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

Absolutely. I’ve gone through this with almost every author I love: I buy a used paperback first (or hit up the library). If I like it, I go crazy and buy everything new, sometimes even ebook and audio as well.
I think secondhand books are a great cheaper way to for readers to try out an author's work. If you fall in love with a currently living author, then I hope you'll eventually buy something first-hand, because that's how we make our living and can afford to write all y'all some new books.
As a lifelong fan of used book shops, I’m interested in your opinion of how that market impacts authors.

Well, I’ll never be asked to sing Christmas songs at the psych ward again
Apparently, “do you hear what I hear”, was the wrong choice?

My Mandarin laoshi’s friend gave me a real name. Zhuoyi means “standing up joyfully,” which I think is a super nice way of saying I’m tall and I laugh a lot. 😆🥰
