Do not EVEN TEMPT ME.
To tell a compelling story with heart and guts that has something to say (or at least questions to ask) about who we are in the world right now.
Hey Steve,
Only one essay? You're fine. You can totally catch up.
Sounds like you've done the single most important thing: which is FINISH THE DAMN BOOK.

POSSIBLE SPOIILER WARNING.
Every character is a seed of some part of your personality that you take out and grow into a tree that stands alone. (Sometimes it's a shriveled vampire parasite tree that sucks your soul - like Harper in The Shining Girls, but still some tiny recognizable part of you in there).

Thank you! It is definitely a fall kinda book - and set in November, so perfect timing.
