I Wrote a Book (well, a novella)

And honestly, it was helpful to read. Not so much for like the nuggets of information that I could apply to my writing, aside from a few things. It was more so like a realizing Stephen King doesn't know everything about his book going into writing his book freed me up to feel like I could write something without being an expert on everything.

In any event, I read Piranesi in 2024 and my spark of reading was ignited.

And then I read Red Rising and the subsequent books in that series and that spark turned into an absolute fire.
