When you want to be a writer, “they” tell you to read everything. Read every genre you can get your mitts on, because even if you don’t realize it, this will improve your writing within the genre you actually want to write. They tell you to read broadly, whatever catches your interest, upon whatever shelf it sits.
How do female authors still go so very unnoticed?
How is it their books aren’t getting in front of eyes that would enjoy them?
How can we make it so they do?
Two years.
Two years, without realizing he hadn’t read a female author.
In my mind, this is like going two years without water. Without air. Without 50% of the nutrients you need to survive. Your bones will be brittle. Your teeth will snap off. The forty-meter squid will devour what remains of your soul in the middle of the frozen apocalyptic night.
