The Little Engine That Could

85K words in. I'm challenged and surprised. I like the Briar book better than I thought I would on the days when I don't hate it for being difficult. I love writing and I hate writing, and it fulfills me in a way that a lot of other things don't. I am perpetually amazed that I indulge in such a fucking hard and stressful hobby. How ridiculous ...

The novel is coming together and that makes me anxious and happy all at once. This has been a really long time.
