That’s why so many writing teachers and editors warn us not to throw dreams into our stories if we want to keep our readers turning pages.

"I think I have savored this book more than almost any other book I’ve ever read. And that’s saying a lot. It is full of heart, full of insights, full of beauty, full of frailty, full of humanity, full of humor. FULL. I guess I’m saying that this book"

"Published in 2023, I selected this book due to the average review for it being incredibly high, one of the closest to 5 stars I have seen. Upon finishing it, I wavered on making this a 2 or 3 star review (since can’t give 2.5) and finally dropped it "

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?
