Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.

Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Lang Leav, Her Time

Isn’t all that rage so ugly? / And isn’t it mine, still? / Good god, isn’t it mine?

Ashe Vernon, From ‘Buried’, Not A Girl

“What are we made of but hunger and rage?”

Anne Carson, Excerpt Of ‘To Compostela’

“... she did not allow herself tears. When she did cry, she would explain her tears in this way: ‘I am not weeping, I am bursting with rage.’”

Gabriella Fiori, From ‘Simone Weil: An Intellectual Biography’

Mumford And Sons, ‘Lover’s Eyes’

“I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine, and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“Give me blood and rage and / a heart for horror; teach me to be / tough enough to face this world / still standing. Make a fury of me.”

Elizabeth Hewer, From ‘Finding Ariadne’ In Wishing For Birds

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.”

Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides

“... is it better to throw yourself head first and laughing into the holy rage calling your name?”

Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“Grief and rage - you need to contain that, to put a frame around it, where it can play itself out without you or your kin having to die. There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you - may cleanse you of your darkness.”

Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides

- On Rage

Listen to: Enya, Hozier, Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers, Florence + the Machine, Vienna Teng, specifically 1989 by Taylor Swift, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, basically all 80s music ever

2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

A lot of earlier ya fantasy authors honestly. In part because I devoured all of them at a formative age when I was just starting to discover that you could write about fantastical things and I was struck with a sudden ‘I’ve found people like me’ feeling.

But also early ya fantasy imo really just felt like authors taking adult fantasy tropes and playing with them while making them more accessible to younger readers when it was still kind of novel to do that and it still delights me.

People like Gail Carson Levine, Patricia C Wrede, Diana Wynne Jones, Tanith Lee, Robin McKinley and, of course, Tamora Pierce
