I feel this, really feel it. Thank you for sharing it! 💜 Keep writing for you. Horror lit. is a quirky, finicky, ever-changing industry. Keep doing what makes you happy and fuck everyone else. If they like it, great, if they don’t, whatever.
Such a good read, Kat! Thank you for being brave enough to say what so many of us are thinking and feeling on the daily. It's a struggle, but when that struggle is swaddled up in something one absolutely _adores_ it's impossible to think about ever quitting. Perhaps being an unmarketable writer is the very definition of a toxic relationship (kidding...sort of?)! It's the driving force behind @BeverleyLee and I deciding not to move forward with further books in our trilogy. Now, with these books in particular, writing them IS all that matters. We're still writing them, even though we know their audience is microscopic. Sending you love and solidarity 🫶🏻🖤
I feel all of this. Writing should be the only thing that matters. But that doesn't mean the other things don't mean something to us. As I get older and feel like time is slipping away, I remind myself that how I feel about my work is what matters most. Even if it's hard to remember that when everyone else seems to be getting those big breaks we all dream of 💗
Oh I want to range on your behalf over the list of things that happened. I know people always jump to saying things like that “make you stronger” but to heck with that. Some of that was just plain rude and ridiculous. So sorry you had to deal with that. <3
