Writing Quote
“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.” George Orwell Everything is fine. Everything is fine. Everything is fine.
The Hinges
I’m excited to be getting to the end of this edit. (Don’t get too excited there’s a ton more editing left to do) I just wanna add one more part that’s completely missing; the hinges that hold my works of art together.
