Hello! I mentioned in my last newsletter that I’m going to send out more frequent newsletters about writing. This is the first one. Bibliographic 3.0. — I firmly believe that writers have a “magic book” in them: the book that pours out of you in a fevered few months of writing, the book that feels easy, the book that feels fated. I believe it because I’ve witnessed it with friends of mine, talked to them in the throes of that magic book phase. It’s a glorious thing to behold. (NB: Writing a magic book doesn’t preclude months or years of editing! But for that first messy draft, all is well, all is exactly where it’s supposed to be.)
