"Every day we sit down to work we swim in a sea of our own fuck-ups. On the shore is one good sentence."
This is a book full of great sentences, thoughts on what it means to live for your creative life, and how one writer found a sense of home for herself. Definitely recommend.

Thanks to Ecco Books and Libro FM for the free advance copy of this book.
- I CAME ALL THIS WAY TO MEET YOU is less a recounting of Attenberg's life, and more a consideration of how she got here and how she became the person she is today - someone fully devoted to art and life and the joy of community.
- I appreciated the exploration of the mental effects of coming up in the art and literature world as a woman, and particularly a woman mostly doing it on her own. She looks at both the joys of going solo and choosing your own path, and the pitfalls and scary moments.
