Woke up with this in mind: I will write this novel. Even if some days all I write is a single sentence, this book will exist. In the words of the excellent Octavia E. Butler, “So be it, see to it!”

I was recently gifted my first fountain pen and I am in love with it. Fell into a rabbit hole last night learning about all the different kinds of ink — sheen, shimmer, high/low maintenance — but the best thing about is that now I have another reason to get excited about writing!

Yes — “The older I get, the more I realize, I don’t want a busy life. I want a deep life. Slow mornings. Focused work. Calm people. Meaningful progress. Good books. A quiet mind at night. Nothing flashy. Nothing trendy. Just a life that feels good to live. Depth over noise. That'll do.“ Karun Pal

“Life’s a forge!” cried the smith, as Taran, his brow streaming, beat at the strip of metal. “Yes, and hammer and anvil, too! You’ll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you’ll scarce know what’s happening to you. But stand boldly to it! Metal’s worthless till it’s shaped and tempered!”

I finished this book today and, even though this might not be the most exciting book in the series, I loved following Taran in his quest to know himself. Next up, The High King. 📖

“Did I ever think a weaver’s shuttle a light burden?” Taran sighed. “It’s not the shuttle that burdens you,” answered Dwyvach, “but lack of skill, a heavy burden, Wanderer, that only one thing can lift.” “What secret is that?” Taran cried. But Dwyvach only smiled. “It is patience, Wanderer.”
