Very inspiring to read and to learn about the early germination for ADADT! You've also inspired me to re-read A. S. Byatt's book Possession. It's been quite a few years since I read it, so it will be like meeting an old friend again. Loved watching Elizabeth Gilbert's Ted Talk too. More inspiration!
This was so interesting and inspiring to read. I am somewhat relieved, also, that the concept of "what is this book is my last?!" is not solely a gremlin of my own brain! The JRRT quote is, indeed, from J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter; in my paperback edition, it's on p171, when the Professor is talking about how LotR took shape. Can't wait to read more about ADADT and your creative processes; AFWM is one of my favourite books of all time, so thank you. 🧡

So fascinating to get glimpses into the melting pot that eventually gave us ADADT
thank you so much for reading, liz! <3
