I have 5 active book projects in 5 different genres going on at the same time and I kind of love it. Everything else fades out by necessity. #DearSenthuran is in rollout mode, two books are in edits at the same time, another is about to enter edits, and I’m writing a new book.

There’s another completed manuscript that’s halfway through a revision, and yet another book that’s also being written but I’m not going to count those because, well, sanity.

At this point, my life has contracted down into doctors, books, and my home/garden. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but it certainly is a quiet one.

(The new book is adult fantasy, by the way.)https://twitter.com/azemezi/status/1334565673075412992?s=20 …

For everyone who’s asking about work ethic, I have an entire letter about execution in #DearSenthuran! Tbh, anything I would teach in a writing course, I put into the memoir. It’s a manual centered in spirit because my craft is centered in spirit.

I also believe that finishing a book is distinct from writing a book—you can do the latter indefinitely. Thanks to funding, I spent 2014-2016 training myself to finish with Freshwater and Vivek. It was brutal af and now I am very very good at what I do.
