i'm about to publish one of the most vulnerable books I've ever written

cause it showed me pieces of myself I didn't want to ever see

listen, I wrote an entire novel about a 41-year-old divorced man not because I fancy these kinds of men. I wrote it because I was passive aggressive towards the divorce of my parents and had consumed too much divorce & breakup related media (see my debut novel “Follow Me. ~ a literal breakup novel”).

In this essay, I tell you the release date of my upcoming fiction novel “It was her”, the writing journey like why I wrote it after being pretty traumatised after my debut novel release, who it is about and how a conversation with someone I didn’t even know that well changed my complete view to “It was her” and started a complete identiy-crises-rollercoaster.
