Congratulations on the new book news, Becca! The parts about your books taking time and needing space resonated so deeply with me — it takes the time that it takes, and that can be both so magical and so frustrating when you’re In The Thick Of It. The feelings-fanfiction part literally made my jaw drop because WOW is that me. Just wow!! Thanks for putting this into words!!
Thank you so much! I feel you on that. Sometimes you want a story to work NOW and it's so maddening that it needs more time to cook. And yes to the feelings-fanfiction!! Not every writer is like that, but the highest compliment I can ever give a piece of art is, "This makes me want to write."
Absolutely this! It's soooo hard when something needs more time to cook. Let me in now! Omg YES, totally agree with you re: "this makes me want to write." That's the highest, highest compliment.
I just wanted to say I’m so glad you included a soup recipe! I still make your (adapted from another recipe to be more lactose friendly) tomato and bell pepper and goat cheese soup on a REGULAR basis. I have your notes app recipe screenshots printed out and included in my cookbook binder. Excited to read more of your stuff, and excited to try the bean soup!
oh my gosh, you made my day!! I just made that one over christmas for the first time in ages and thought about putting it in here, but I want to remake it at least one more time so I can be confident I’m still happy with the recipe. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that you like it! It has NO BUSINESS being as good as it is! And thank you for the lovely comment. Maybe I’ll have to make sharing recipes a regular thing. :^)
