I just finished reading “a psalm for the wild built” - it was a very sweet and grounded sci-fi parable, I think you’d like it Amy! Then I started “demon copperhead” - an unflinching look at life in Appalachia at the start of the opioid crisis. It is a downer but I can see why Barbara Kingsolver got so much acclaim for it.
I'm just getting around to reading after a whirlwind weekend, and I'm so appreciative of your kind words about my comic.
Like you, I also wonder why anyone would read my comic. There are a million better artists, better storytellers, better everything, why would anyone choose to read mine? But I was struck by your note "I need to write less about me". I keep listening to your podcast and reading your newsletter BECAUSE it's about you. Your stories and your ideas and your life are interesting and insightful and help me to find meaning and value in my own stories. So keep writing about YOU. I think that's what people are actually looking for in both of our cases. To see things from someone else's perspective and broaden all of our experiences. Keep doing what you're doing because it's fantastic.
