Love this piece especially: "I think my issues with not completing a book project are about avoiding the moment it becomes something I have to sell—the moment a finished product becomes an extension of my identity and something else to manage. I also don’t want to give any responding up. I like writing, I like novelty. Editing and marketing aren’t writing, and some part of me enjoys finding new things to write instead of finishing what I’ve already started."
Thank you for reading and for finding that paragraph. That one was a big realization, too, about avoiding a permanent extension of me, having something else to manage, not wanting to make space for all that managing in my day to day (or not knowing where it’ll fit or what I’ll give up). 🙏
It certainly ain’t my thing, Haddock, I stink at it! Hope you’re having a fun weekend
The Jennifer who remained
The one who remains is me I guess. Cool cool

lol, no. “What in the ever-loving patriarchy?!” that was not the takeaway 😂
Oops.
That’s okay. Glad you made it to the end of the post!
I did, I read the whole thing. Had to look up ABA autism debate… But I will send positive vibes for the creation of the job.
Thank you for the positive vibes! Ugh, the debate.. will say more next post. Appreciate your interest and reading!
