I love this, Alexa! Not only because I agree with everything you said and have been in that "just write" mode for a while now instead of focusing on the result of said writing. For me, it at least offered me the exchange of more writing and exploration and less anxiety.

But I also love this because you are so talented and your words deserve to be read. Even if it's not through "traditional" means. I'm so pumped that you want to keep writing because there are people waiting to read your words!

I love how optimistic you are, even when battling doubt, or wondering if there’s a point to novel-writing. There is! Someone else remarked that there are readers eagerly awaiting your novels (it’s me, too, hi!) in whatever form they make their way into the literary world. I would say something corny like, “Keep writing!” But of course you will, even if only for the joy of it!! (Which, I love that you’re happiest when writing, that’s so beautiful, and also I love that you used to write in a tree, what a main character move!)
