I needed this post. I will always need this post since it accompanies me in this uncertain terrain of novel-writing. How beautifully and succinctly and viscerally you describe this process--a process both imaginative (the characters we recognize when we see them) and concrete (the research, the libraries, the images strung across the writing space). This is such a gift to writers. Thank you, Frankie!
The other thing I'm always remembering about writing--If you reach one single brain who needed to read what you have to write, that is enough. So happy to accompany you!
