I recognize good writing when I read it ... mine is not. How do I fix that? Or can't I? I'm 43.

Have you considered doing a follow-up to Bad Feminist or a new edition? I absolutely love the book but would love to read what you have to say about the garbage fire the world has become since it was published! You're the best :)
