Have you watched "An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts" on Netflix? It's an Italian TV show with a focus on astrology. I think you'd love it.

Hi Kimia! I think there's so much pressure for writers (and all creators I'm sure) to write faster! Do more! Stick to a schedule! Publish, publish, publish! When the reality of writing is so much larger than an end product. You are synthesizing heaven and earth, pulling the metaphysical into the corporeal, creating worlds... Why should we be able to do that quickly? Shouldn't we give ourselves the grace to luxuriate in the wonder of new universes coming to life? I'm sure your novel is benefiting from your slow attention and careful stewardship just as all great things in life do. I love the planetary updates! I'm hopeless when it comes to astrology so its nice to get the rundown.

Hi hi Violet - you're so right 🙏🏼 and I love the thought of "synthesizing heaven and earth" while writing. Thank you for the kind words!

Glad the astrology breakdowns are resonating. I'm excited to continue diving deeper into them x
