![]() ![]() Shiny and edited and pasted together with the tears of copy editors whom I have sent to an early grave and/or multiple bars. You, on the other hand, will only see the finished product. Some people write a book a week, but I’m achingly slow and filled with self-doubt and writer’s block, so by the time you read this I will have gone through years of “WRITING IS SO LONELY AND I HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.” I will have gone through the writing period when I tell my husband that real writers write drunk and edit sober, and then later the editing period when I tell him I have edited this notion and have to write drunk and also edit drunk, and even the period where I just lock myself in a room and force myself to write and it’s glorious and beautiful until I wake up the next day and realize it’s garbage and delete everything. ![]() By the time you read this it will be an actual, fully formed, and probably horribly offensive book, but at the moment I’m writing this it’s just a bunch of sentences, paralyzing anxiety, and a lot of angst. You probably just picked up this book thinking, What the shit is this all about? And frankly I’m right there with you. Jenny Lawson, Full-Grown Mammal: An Introduction ![]()
