omg good point, Kristin! Another Mason Currey book in the world? YES PLEASE! The first two are among my most prized and often-read books. I consider them my old and new testaments for writing life.

Congrats! I forgot all about that Pauline Oliveros — fits in well with Abraham Maslow: “The most mature human beings are also childlike.”

Yay Mason!!! Congratulations on finishing your draft. Your candor about how unexpectedly LONG the process can be has been an inspiration and a comfort.

Congrats on turning in your ending!! I can't wait to read the new book, and as someone who has been working on a novel for five years and my upcoming craft book for 3...I relate.

Mason Currey's avatar

Thank you, Caitlin! And hang in there with your books!! I think books really have their own timelines and we're working on their schedule...

Congrats on getting there! And thank you for sharing how it took about 2 years longer than planned. It empowers me as a reader/writer to hear that it took so frickin long and that you persisted! I would love to hear the story behind it all, once this new ship is off to the races.

I do relate as well; one time, I did a 16-month Master's degree that took me 5.5 years. :)
