I shopped it around.

No one wanted it.

Radio silence in New York.

That fall, I reached out to my agent, who I still have, who I love, and I just said, I think I need to be done with writing for a year.

I was just so exhausted, so burnt out.

And so this novel essentially came out of me feeling like I had given up.

And I think it's really indicative of...

By this point, I had developed such a muscle for writing.

It really was just like I remember when I started writing, I just kind of told myself, well, if this one fails, too, you've just lost two months.

You just lost a few months.

So you just really have to get comfortable with this idea of failure because, you know, it's not good.

This book has done really well.

Thank goodness.

But I might write another manuscript and then trash it like it never ends.

It's really just a lifestyle.

Yeah.

Because I think if you're constantly chasing... Trust yourself when I'm crying in my bathroom.

Yeah, that's the thing.

You cannot tie your creativity to one project.

And I have a few friends that I've spoken with who are like, if this one just doesn't work, then that's when I'm going to quit.
