Hi friends, The paperback of my memoir, I Came All This Way to Meet You: Writing Myself Home, is out today. You can order it online or through your local independent bookstore. If you order it through my local bookstore, I will sign it for you. I sat with a quiet feeling about it early this morning. I have spent a year with it so far — a whole lifetime, too, I suppose. I took some time to write about it in my journal.
curious what you didn’t love about the publishing part of this book...was it the reality of exposure, facing your audience with this personal story? or something else?
You know it's a much longer response than I have time to give at this moment but I would say I did not enjoy the conversations I had to have around my work as much as I do when I talk about fiction. I prefer process conversation.
