"The artwork is so cute and classic here, and this reads even more sentimental after the year we've had. Definitely made me reflect and focuses on the little things."

| A smart, layered read, with strong female characters, GIVE WAY TO NIGHT is incredibly rich with visual and sensory details and filled with political intrigue. The historical fantasy is so well-grounded in factual detail that it seems entirely plausib ...more | |

“The problem with having a family made up of friends is that once they decided to leave, you didn’t run into them at weddings and funerals. Once they left, you never saw them again.”
― Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home
― Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home
“It seems like there is no way to just write your story without becoming someone's poster child. You are not just your own voice, your own history--rather you carry the expectations of both extremes.”
― Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home
― Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home
“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.”
― Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

“You can't have many exclamation points left,' thought Anne, 'but no doubt the supply of italics is inexhaustible.”
