T-3 to Launch

3 years since the Lu launch, 3 days until the Louisa launch, and I’d like to share a little something I’ve learned about writing.

I like it.

I like it for itself.

I can say that because I don’t get “much” out of it, at least not by the worldly triad of recognition, money, and power.

The other day, someone took a jab at self-published books as not being real, and I laughed.

“Well mine feel pretty real.”

She felt bad (she didn’t know), and I told her it was okay. None of us can wait for universal consensus or accolades. They aren’t real.

What is real is the basement writing room I go to every morning. I’m happy to arrange and rearrange words in the time I have. And I leave, satisfied.
