A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a “Top 100 Literary Classics” list.

“How many have you read?” he asked me.

I counted. It was 5.

Having just given up on a terrible TikTok romantasy novel, I thought “What the hell am I doing here?”

That day, I hit “Order” on Amazon.

It took me 10 years of writing to do it, but here I am, choosing to get the education I deserve.
