The thing I want most is for my stories to give a reprieve to some readers who are struggling and lonely. It's what books did for me when I was at my lowest, and I want to do it for others. When readers tell me I did this for them, my heart glows. I want to keep doing that.
Love this so much.
I don't recall if I said anything when "I'll Miss Myself" came out, but that's exactly how it hit me, so thank you.
Would I love Mamoru Hosoda or Guillermo Del Toro to adapt my stuff? Of course. Would I lose my mind if Laurence Fishburne narrated something of mine, or played a character in an adaptation? Or if Stephen King liked my writing? Yeah. But I know why I write. And it's to be there for others.
I cannot tell you how often I think of your succubus couch story but many of those times are on days with more pain. You turned a hard part of my life into a story that also has joy and community.
