Hurrah for breaking grammatical rules! You keep that em-dash exactly where you have it. Broken sentence structure can be so powerful, as can misused punctuation. Trip the reader up, slow them down, make them stumble over sentences that cause emotional reactions.
I am so here for the process of you writing this book. Absolutely it's okay to share it (I'm very grateful you are - plus all the other insight into your process and the publishing industry you choose to share).
I also love the Instagram reflection posts you've been doing on your first five books, I've been meaning to comment on them but have been going through some stuff lately so it hasn't yet happened. I may just post my comments here. Not sure yet.
“There is no next book. There’s only this one, and it’s one that neither of us are guaranteed.” 🖤🖤🖤 Related to so much of this. Thank you for sharing, Courtney.
I so relate to this. Having gone through much of the same over the past year, I can honestly say that there is immense freedom in being able to experiment in your craft without boundaries again.
I just really, really appreciate these thoughts - the ones you've been sharing about your previous experiences, and this, as you work through something new. You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you.

I am so happy and excited for you, even if we never see a word of it.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m deeply moved. You are eloquent, down-to-earth, wise, and fierce. You face yourself here without blinking.
