Snagged this from Ghoulish Books at Killer Con last month because I love Schraeder’s work, and this did not disappoint. Schraeder delivers her deliciously sardonic tone on every page, and I could not put this book down.

Quotes by Rebecca Rowland (?)

“However, all writing, all writers who wish to be
published, it, they are the same at the core. All of them want to be read, remembered, cherished.”
― Rebecca Rowland, Shagging the Boss

“Human bodies wear down," he continued . "They give out. No one is immortal, not without help. All writers wish to live forever, don't they? Even if they won't admit it. They vomit up these sacred parts of themselves, wrap those shards in paper, and pray the remnants will exist long after they are decomposing in the grave.”

Rebecca’s Quotes

“If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
― David Bowie
