happy to hear that you're okay and that you did what's best for you in order to protect yourself and focus on what matters most ❤️ thank you for continuing to share your stories with us despite the challenges that come with being an author in this day and age... trust that it is appreciated 🫶

I think it’s spot on to recognise social media isn’t working for you when you have books to write, loved ones to see and be with. It’s such a great tool but at the same time I do worry how much pressure there is in creatives to open up yourselves constantly and build huge following and engagement. I see stuff authors have to do to promote their books and wonder if it really does translate into sales doing weird stuff bc the algorithm tells them to jump on X trend.

Take care and enjoy less noise from social media so you can hear your muse instead.

I’ll miss seeing your posts and having occasional chats on instagram, but I’m glad you’re doing what you need to do for you! And I’m sure I’ll see you at some Bay Area book release event or another eventually. :)
