âAuthors pretend their stories were always shiny and perfect and just waiting to be written. The truth is, writing is this: hard and boring and occasionally great, but usually not. Even I have lied about writing.â
- Amy Poehler, Yes Please I just about cackled my lil buns off the first time I heard Amy say that (thanks to audio books for existing so that I could hear Amy Poehler read her own book TO me while I laughed right along with her). The preface to her book is basically a whole lot of book-writing honesty aaaand I love her for it. Aaaaand Iâm gonna go ahead and say I fully believe her. {NAME}, writing a (good) book is hard. Itâs a work of art, a work of HEART, and often, a work of genius. Itâs not easy to care about something and have to edit it and rip it apart and piece it back together over and over and over again. But people do hard things. People accomplish big, amazing things! Weâre SO CREATIVE AND SMART! *claps a lot* And that is why Iâm here to do a JSYK book drop right into your digital lap becauseâand I am so honored to say thisâpeople that I know and love have done the hard and wonderful thing: they wrote books.
