Thank you for sharing this peek into your brain — it's fascinating to learn more about your craft. And Aliza and I loved sharing your thoughts on exercise, food, and your body with our readers, so a second thank you!
“it’s okay to pursue an activity simply for the opportunity to learn and grow.” That line - wow. There are always nuggets in your writing that are aha moments for me.
I’m guilty for asking the dreaded question 🙈 but I have to say it’s absolutely fascinating to hear just how much goes into writing these books that become the “must reads”. I had absolutely zero clue - and now know so much more and it makes reading even more pleasurable knowing the writer walked in the same shoes as their characters (over and over again!) until it was just right.
I can relate. It’s frustrating not to finish. But it’s even more frustrating when you want to finish but keep prioritizing other things (guilty). So I’m doing the work!! 😄
I loved reading about how you’ve adjusted your approach, Sophia. There’s a lot of wisdom here!
And I can so relate to your challenge responding to the dreaded, 100% well-meaning question “How’s your writing going?” I think I need to steal your scripted response for myself 😅

There's so much good food for thought here -- but that soup, oh wowwww. Yumm!
