She wanted so badly to do something valuable for once, to make something beautiful, something that was hers. She wanted this to be more than just an escape, wanted to be more than a scared little girl running away from imaginary monsters. She couldn’t write a thesis or a newspaper article or even a fairy tale of her own—the university had made damn sure she knew that. This was her only chance to make something that would last, so she would take it, no matter how insurmountable the task seemed.
"or even a fairy tale of her own—the university had made damn sure she knew that" / Are women not allowed to publish books commercially? Or does Effy think you need to go to school to be able to submit a book for publication? 😅
