Five years ago today I signed my first contract with HarperCollins, this one for my debut trilogy, BURNING GLASS. 🖋 I had no idea what was in store—several more pounds of weight from endless hours of sedentary writing, a host of new neuroses, so many wonderful new friends, some lost, many world and characters created and lots of magic, as well as new demons to conquer. 🖋 I wouldn’t trade this journey for another. I’m grateful for how it’s made me grow and how I’ve discovered wells of strength I didn’t believe I had inside me. 🖋 I hope I’m learning to balance writing better with my other responsibilities and interests in life, and I look forward to the journey ahead! . . . #authorlife #writingjourney #publishingcontract #burningglass #kathrynpurdie #bookcontract https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FFHCDgL9B/?igshid=xyue53x3bqz5
