revision cave.
+ my Wuthering Heights review & more!
Dear friends,
I am two weeks away from turning my manuscript into my press. I have been in a revision cave and full of the very distinct kind of anxiety that emerges when one is nearing the end of a big project (I’ve experienced this as I wrapped my thesis, dissertation, and memoir); it’s a very un-fun time, especially since a lot of what I’m writing about is sexual violence.
But even the worst part of the writing process is better than a life absent of getting to do art. All work includes stress, and as harrowing as this flavor of it is, I would take it any day over other jobs I’ve had. I feel tired and depleted, and I also feel lucky.

Below: my review of Wuthering Heights! also: a couple of great book recs, plus what I’m listening to, and other things from the week that got me through.
love & solidarity,

Reading.
Mostly I have been re-reading my manuscript. My brain is mush!
Outside of that, I have been reading two books.
