<blockquote>
<p>A book?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Why?</p>
</blockquote>
<!--more-->
<p>A question I struggle with just as much as you.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Obviously. Best guess, then.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Best guess, this project has become important to me and integral to my writing in a way that I can&rsquo;t really express without waxing maudlin about writing <a class="pulse" href="/writing">again</a>. It&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;ve poured time and love and blood and sweat and tears into. I&rsquo;m proud of it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Is it not enough as it stands?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It&rsquo;s great as it stands. It&rsquo;s just that I&rsquo;d also love to see this as a production that I can show to others. Something I can see on others&rsquo; bookshelves. Something I can maybe see in a bookstore.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Why the struggle, then? Why not just publish it and accept your pride?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Who am I to say my life is interesting enough to put in front of other people&rsquo;s eyes? How can I possibly suggest that my words are worth reading when they are about things that impact so very few people?</p>
<p>Like, <em>Restless Town</em> was something that I was proud of, but I didn&rsquo;t have this compunction because there are more trans people than just myself, more poly folks than just myself, more furries than just me. Ditto <em>Rum and Coke</em>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>And <strong>Eigengrau</strong>?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Poetry &mdash; at least much of that poetry &mdash; is more universal than even the stories in <em>Restless Town</em>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This is about gender, poly, and furry. Must the whole book be applicable to be enjoyed?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>No, I suppose not.</p>
