I'm not sorry.
Me as a scholar of literature: This is a very common narrative arch which allows characters to evolve and to find a more meaningful end. I’m fine. Everything is fine.
Me right now: I am dead inside. @neilhimself and co killed me. I will now retreat into my shell and wither away.

"Is it necessary to suffer in order to be a writer? Don’t worry about the suffering. The suffering will occur whether you like it or not."

Why did I spend 9 years of my life writing a children's book? Because I believe children's books are the most important books of all! And here's a piece I wrote for @edchoicesmag all about Tyger, and how & why I wrote it:

5 people, paying 250k to travel in an unsafe vessel to a dangerous place.
500 people, in an unsafe vessel, trying desperately to get to a safe place.
Why do some people feel such a connection with the first group, but not the second?

8 manuscripts. 13 years. Then, exactly one year ago today, @KSonnack told me we had an offer on EELGRASS BOG. A few weeks later, we sold it at auction for six figures.
Today I'm holding the bound galleys.
Dreams come true. They really, really do. 🖤
