Jane Friedman published my essay

Y’all, I wrote an essay about how I got a book deal with (much) less than the US-publishing-recommendation of at least 10,000 engaged fans.

Even if you aren’t at all interested in writing, there’s a few nuggets I think you’ll enjoy including my favorite Darwin quote:

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.” —Charles Darwin, two years after he published On the Origin of Species

and why I think expecting failure is the best way to overcome failure and keep succeeding.

Thanks for reading Dr Kerry's Love Letters: words for the weary! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Aroha mai, aroha atu (love received, love returned)

I’m feeling flooded with gratitude for all the people who are helping to get this little book of science and love into the world.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it meant one person felt less alone or less overwhelmed?
