I’m sorry that agent did that. That must feel like crud. I preordered this the *instant* you announced it because it’s a message I need so badly right now, and can’t wait for it to land on my doorstep. ✨
So much of this echoed the class I am taking on Beauty, especially Roger Scruton’s idea that a good writer is someone who presents the soul of the reader to him through his words. And having vulnerability and showing up for yourself and your inner child are the *worst* until we see they are actually the best thing we could possibly be doing. So glad the consolations of truth and beauty found you through the hard moments, but I am so glad you shared them here.
I’m so sorry to hear about your agent and reading your words has inspired me to re-read Artist’s Way so I’d be up for joining and having some check ins. I need it at the start of a major new life chapter wondering what on earth might be next and how to let my little girl dance and play a bit for the first time in years...
Here for all the words you share with us friend for however long you share them.

I can't believe an agent would do this. I mean...I know they do. But to you? For this reason? At this moment in time? I'm seething.
p.s. preordering immediately, hoping to help launch if I can!

What do you need the launch team people to do? I just ordered the hardcover!
What a crappy thing your agent did. Especially since she was a friend.
For what it’s worth I just published a post about holding your inner child also. It might speak to you?
Looking forward to your book and your stories about your new home.

It’s beyond our understanding that Jesus loves and forgives us unconditionally because of what was accomplished on the cross !!
So good to hear from your heart, Amber!
Thought of this song, and you two.

I am so sorry about your agent. That must hurt so much. Looking forward to your book. And whatever writing comes out afterwards.
