Can you imagine making such a claim? And yet!
My latest novel ANIMAL INSTINCT is about a woman rediscovering her desire in midlife — it’s been called a best book of the year by NPR, Oprah Daily, and more. You can order it here. And hey, if you do get a copy, DM me your receipt and I’ll comp you a paid subscription to this very newsletter, Writing on the Verge (this gives you access to alllll the archives, which otherwise get paywalled after a month) ✨✨✨✨✨
Every time I send a Substack where I’m like “hey, you don’t have to write all the time… you can rest and take breaks…” a handful of you brilliant and beautiful readers respond by saying, basically, “Yeahhh okay but I’m good on breaks, I’m actually pretty great at the not-writing.

Do these and let me know how it goes in the comments. Or! Share how you break out of the ruttiest of ruts.
