The Long Road Ahead


When I wrote my first novel, I felt like I was launching myself into space. In one of those tiny, ridiculous pods. Without enough food or fuel to get back home.


I wasn’t new to writing. As a professional magazine writer who’d sold a few…

Don't Buy It by Anat Shenker-Osorio
Phoebe liked a quote
63031
Women never have a half-hour in all their lives (excepting before or after anybody is up in the house) that they can call their own, without fear of offending or of hurting someone. Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have 'no time in the day to themselves.' 1852Florence Nightingale

“What have you done to your hair?” Mom’s broken voice said, pinning me back to this tiny hospital
room.
“Holy shit!” Icka patted her head as if searching. “You think the nurse stole it? She looked shady.”
Phoebe Kitanidis, Whisper

“I didn't see myself as the busty type. Too bad bodies are issued randomly, not selected to match your personality”
Phoebe Kitanidis, Glimmer

“Follow your curiosity and serve yourself a unique blend of books that no one else is reading. Read for variety. The more different types of voices you read, the more your brain will get the message that it’s okay to be who you are.”
