"THIS IS OFF TO A GOOD START!
‘Do you enjoy being a writer, Mrs Avery?’ asked Julian.
‘No, of course not,’ she said. ‘It’s a hideous profession. Entered into by narcissists who think their pathetic little imaginations will be of interest to people they’ve never met.’" — Apr 27, 2026 04:25PM

"I’ve read many of the stories thinking, stupidly, that the war would be over quickly. I then made a vow not to finish it until there is satisfactory peace.
