A few things before the post: On Thursday, January 11th, I’ll be reading alongside Armin Tolentino and Veronica Sandoval to celebrate a year of the Constellation Reading Series! The event is from 7 to 9 at Tin House/Bishop & Wilde in Portland, OR.
happy new year, Emme! my first book is coming out this year, and last year was my first year of full-time writing, and I've been thinking something similar: soon I'll have to go out in the world with my words, and not be shut up in my room keeping them to myself. I loved the latter, but I'm excited about the former too.
Happy New Year, Unmana! Yes, I mean it when I say I truly love both aspects (internal solitude of writing/external releasing of books). Watching readers connect with your work is, imo, the most rewarding part of storytelling. I'm sure you'll hear from a lot of readers connecting with your work this year!
