    “To participate requires self-discipline and trust and courage, because this business of becoming conscious, of being a writer, is ultimately about asking yourself, as my friend Dale puts it, How alive am I willing to be?”

    Anne has reassured me that ALL writers feel like mentally ill rats when they try to write & for that I am grateful.

    I'm not a huge re-reader but this one feels like a book I could pick up again and again, could flip to any random page and find joy and be inspired to write (and I need inspiration because writing is haaarrd 😭). Feels like a classic I will keep on my shelves for years to come. <3

    I am not sure how much sense this makes, but I was so distracted by the pictures being painted by the vivid prose that I had trouble focusing on the actual story sometimes. Even so, I can't bring myself to criticize this book. It transported me to Fairyland, and I would very much like to go back.

  • Bookish gift recs?

    Hey everyone! I’m wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for gifts for book lovers. I’m looking for gifts for my friends (and myself) rn and I’m having a hard time finding stuff. My only rule is no bookmarks and no journals.For as long as I can remember, every gift giving event, Christmas, birthdays ect. I have gotten at least one bookmark bc people know I like to read and it’s gotten to the point where I have about 20 now when all I really want are two good ones😅 the same goes for journals but to a lesser extent. Therefore, I don’t want to buy bookmarks and journals for myself or any of my friends but I still want to give them a book related gift :) I’m excited to see your recs!
