I cannot tell you how often I think about the golden bird. Everyday. All the time. I am obsessed!! The story is the most soul wrenching thing I’ve ever read, and the way it’s just so well thought out, it’s like. how are you so good at writing? i mean, i know you had to put in a lot of work and write a lot to get to where you are now, but your skill is so far away from anything I could ever hope to do, i'm just so impressed. for example, that annoying servent that tris orders around. bins i think! he has been on screen for such a little amount of time, but i feel like he still has distinct character traits. naggy, bitter from being ordered around by slaves, condescending. i don't know, it just seems that even though he is a side character of a side character, he is not empty. All of your characters have life! Now that i'm thinking about it, is he dead? He probably died from redditch being taken over. hmm, i didn’t think about that. well. rip bins, i guess. anyway, thank you for sharing your awesome writing!

the idea that my writing is on someone's mind is just so fucking COOL. i am so grateful to have you as a reader <3

also, please don't think you can't become the writer you admire. seriously. when i first read "the line of beauty" i was cast into absolute depression because i thought (and still think) it's a perfect book, completely seamless, and i had no idea how a human being could have written it.

then i went back and read all alan hollinghurst's books in chronological order and realized that he'd been trying to write "the line of beauty" for twenty years. his first novel, "the swimming pool librarian," is bad. it's so bad. it tries to do so much of what "the line of beauty" achieves seemingly effortlessly and just falls absolutely flat on its face.

this is not to say tgb is anywhere near "line of beauty" in terms of quality, but it's exponentially better for having been rewritten from scratch twice.

anyway. binns! not only is he not dead, he's going to make an appearance in chapter 47 (which is told from Tris's pov). i'm excited to hear what you think!

for a while i was like. hmm statue moses probably doesn’t make sense anymore with how I’ve made their narrative. and then tgb was like. make this motherfucker a temporary alternate. and i was very sad because narrative. but then i remembered—
