It’s a good day for lying on a hammock and listening to an audiobook. 📷
Hello today I think my ideal job would be to read books and then write essays (not straight up reviews) about those books. Sometimes a group of books or a pairing, like I might try reading Monster She Wrote and Women and Other Monsters. 📚📝
I’m writing through a migraine right now. I have this one participant interview that’s really detailed and part of me wants to just copy and paste almost all the participant’s answers into the findings chapter because they’re so good.
I finished reading Mona Awad’s BUNNY last night. I can’t even write a review of it because I don’t have enough words to convey all the important things about it. It’s beautifully written, sad and weird. It completely blew my mind. I’m so happy to have read it. 📚
Finished reading: Bunny by Mona Awad 📚
My current writing process: mine one interview for quotes. Read a chapter of BUNNY by Mona Awad. Repeat. 📝 #amwriting 🐰
Finished reading: Keep Going by Austin Kleon 📚
I should hang this Austin Kleon drawing from p. 165 of KEEP GOING up in my home office. [Description: a human skeleton wearing a black hat & clothes holds up a sign reading “LESS DESPAIR.” Next to it, a steer skeleton dressed in black holds up a sign reading “MORE REPAIR.”]
“Art Monsters are not necessary or glamorous and they are not to be condoned, pardoned, or emulated.” - Austin Kleon, Keep Going, p. 124 📚
Just gonna give up all other pursuits and devote my life to writing Muppet Show friendfic from now on, byeeeee.
