Have you at one time or another suffered writer's block? And if you have, what did you do to overcome it?-JW
Elan Mastai
Jenn—for me, writer's block tends to come when I haven't thought through a story enough, so I don't know what needs to happen next because I'm unsure where it's going. Like standing at a crossroads not knowing which way to walk because you have no destination in mind. What I do is go work on something else and just think about the story that's befuddling me until I've got a better plan for it. I usually juggle a few projects at a time for just this reason.

This book is amazing. I read A LOT of books and it is so unique and smart and so detailed in the best way possible. I honestly am gob-smacked at this alternate world you created. There are so many lines that are just such beautiful truths. Plus, the philosophy is making me think. You keep twisting the plot so I am continually thinking, "What next?" Thank you for writing such an amazing piece of work.
