I want to talk to you.

I got this Haunted Mansion mug thinking I'd post a really cute picture with it and joke about how *I'm* the maddest hatter of them all, whipping you guys up lots of cool, mad hats in my cool, mad hat shop.  But the truth is that right now this book is excoriating the flesh from my bones ☠️ Actual conversation with a friend: Me: You know how I lay on the floor and blink into the carpet when I'm stuck?  Right now I want to rub my face against the carpet until my skin is all gone and there's nothing left but a shrieking skull. Friend (who's used to this from me): Oh? Me: Because I don't deserve face-skin. Friend: Ah. Me: Because I'm a moral and creative failure. Friend: Mmmhmmm. Me: A MORAL AND CREATIVE FAILURE. Friend: You've failed the most morally and creatively of anyone I know. Me: *mumbles* Thank you for validating me. So anyway, this is all to say that this book is hard to write.  It's splitting open my brainpan and poking at the artistically flaccid gray matter inside.  It's weighing my pulpy, spurting heart on its scale and finding me lacking...or at least that's how I feel while I'm trying to translate the shadows and glimmers in my mind into words that mean things. And I guess the strangest thing is that this part when I suffer...is my favorite part of being a writer.  The anguish energizes me, the gap between what I want to be capable of and my actual capabilities is a wedge that cracks me open.  Knowing that I'm not good enough for this story reminds me that it's the *right* story, because each story should force me to bring more to the table, to level up and deliver. The process of excavating the pit of my soul, the psychic scourging, is deeply and profoundly magical for me.  It's intoxicating stuff.  And that's why even as I despond that this book is going to be an unreadable pile of meandering garbage, I'm also desperate to get to the keyboard each and every day.  I'm wriggling with impatience whenever I can't work, and I'm drunk with energy when I can.  This is when I remember why I chose this scary, wonderful job above all others. This is the part when I say: “Yes. THIS.” 🎩🎩🎩 #thornchapel #wip
