    I'm frustrated at what feels like an inability to flex in my WIP; a need to add more bells. & right on time I found on this quote from @mafiasafia: “Let the book be the book. It doesn’t have to be a résumé. You don’t have to show them everything you can do in a single book.”

        It's hard out here when you want to stunt and feel like you HAVE to show all your skills...but I guess writing a novel isn't an OWL exam? I'm trying to convince myself I can spread the magic out and only keep what serves the novel, not my ego.

        “keep what serves the novel, not my ego” is basically my new writing mantra tho 👀 I think it’s part of this scarcity mentality I struggle with. like this might be my last chance better go all out and prove I deserve to be here. but we gotta serve the books first.

        Word. I think the idea that we always have to prove we are worthy enough pushes a lot of this mentality. Sigh.

        Needed to see this. Was randomly stressed about the book after my next book cause it will be "quieter" probably and I'm realizing I'm stressing for no reason.

        I love this! And this was how I felt when drafting More Happy--I was like "I can do gay and Bronx and sci-fi-lite and ghosts and more!" I removed the ghosts haha.

        oooh BUT THE GHOSTS! I keep telling myself it's okay if certain elements end up in a different book. But I guess that means trusting there will be other things to write.

        It took four books for the ghosts to reappear, but they're at home in the fantasy book where they always belonged :) and MORE HAPPY was allowed to stay focused on what it was always supposed to be.

        It seems to me that the greatest gift any of the people involved can give a creation is selfhood--it's *own*, not ours.
