Of course! I’m 26, just finishing my MA and wanting to carve my own path and write rather than re-enter the rat race. My country is also officially in a recession, so I appreciate writing by millennials who did the whole ‘oh my god, the economy’ thing 15 years before me.
the linen sheets! I remember talking about this with you. spending is so personal but also... those little things really matter and I'm glad you spent at least some of your advance on nice things for yourself! ❤️
Will do! It's on my calendar (I even have the next day off work for Juneteenth) I love running and history and feminism, so I am VERY excited for your book.
Thank you for this open letter to people who are where you were a few years ago :) Needed that encouragement, and also just the naming of what is hard and wonderful about this work!
I needed to see this!
Oh I'm so glad it resonated!!

It's a rough time but being able to define yourself outside of the rat race is an opportunity of its own. Good luck!
This is so good, Maggie! I often think about how from the outside the idea of being a writer seems so glorified. This captures so much of the reality!

The sheets are truly life-changing in the best way
I hope to see you at Elliot Bay Bookstore in June!
Would love that! Please say hi!

Love this, Maggie! An insightful peek inside the financial life of the writer!
