Woke up with this in mind: I will write this novel. Even if some days all I write is a single sentence, this book will exist. In the words of the excellent Octavia E. Butler, “So be it, see to it!”

I was recently gifted my first fountain pen and I am in love with it. Fell into a rabbit hole last night learning about all the different kinds of ink — sheen, shimmer, high/low maintenance — but the best thing about is that now I have another reason to get excited about writing!
