The Reading Comprehension And Overall Common Sense On This Website Is Piss Poor.

If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

AMAZING I'M SO PROUD OF YOU HOLY SHIT, CONGRATULATIONS-

it just hit me that for YEARS my whole (and only) major goal was to have a book published before i turned 25. that was all baby-alex in 2018 was gunning for when we started taking writing seriously.

in the time since, my publishing journey has been HARD. i mean, it has sucked some major balls. i'm talking 'getting surprise divorced the week you're supposed to start your contracted structural edits' hard.

like, 'nobody tells you anything and if other people miss deadlines, it's your problem now and you're BEING a problem just by asking why' hard. like, 'oh, you mean you're struggling with the weight of writing/editing 6 hours a day and working enough to support yourself while dealing with a chronic illness? have you tried giving up SLEEPING?' (i wish i was joking that's a verbatim quote) hard.

but now, at the end of all that bullshit, my book comes out on february 6th.

i turn 25 on march 4th.

i did it.

Day 8/20, 28th September, 2023 – Thursday

Yeah. Today wasn't a good day. I did practically nothing except reading a couple chapters from A Thousand Splendid Suns, which I need to finish by Tuesday for my English test. Sorry, me.

lmaoooo I love it haha

- I started questioning my identity in 2019; I'm no closer to finding a label now than I was then. The difference is, now I don't want a label. I just am. :]
