A quick note, so I can come back to it in times of self-doubt and writing stress (ie all the time)

Midnight’s Children.

Desolation Road.

The Overheating Greenhouse Future.

You will put these things into your brain, and the book that you will want to read will be the result. Don’t stress. Finish your work, let it stew, have a curry. It will all work out in the end.
