There are monsters in the sea. 
 ok, so this will be another short list review because IaEUR(tm)m currently in the process of moving into my new home in another country and starting a new semester and I have four other books to review at the momentaEUR|aEUR|aEUR|BUT I do promise that this book is v fantastic and lovely 
 my very messy list of reasons why you should read this book: 
 aEUR" GORGEOUS art 
 aEUR" introverted mc 
 aEUR" internet friends !!!!! are real friends!!!!! 
 aEUR" cute nerd love 
 aEUR" about what it's like to be part of an online community or fandom 
 aEUR" diverse range of fans!! there are people from countries all over the world, men and women, ages ranging from fourteen to an adult with a child of her own 
 aEUR" the stereotypical face of fandoms is teenage girlsaEUR"and donaEUR(tm)t get me wrong, I love teenage girls, I was one until very recentlyaEUR"but I love that this book shows how diverse of a group of people can be brought together by the stories they love 
 aEUR" couples that beta read each other's fanfics !!!! wtf where do I find a nerd like this to date 
 aEUR" did I mention the art is fucking BEAUTIFUL 
 aEUR" aEURoeI am an absolute wreck of a human being, and right now I am completely okay with it" wallace is me after reading any one of my fav books 
 aEUR" thereaEUR(tm)s a lot of important stuff in this book about self-care and creating art 
 If you want the motivation back, you must feed it. Feed it everything. Books, television, movies, paintings, stage plays, real-life experience. Sometimes feeding simply means working, working through nonmotivation, working even when you hate it. 
 We create art for many reasons - wealth, fame, love, admiration - but I find the one thing that produces the best results is desire. When you want the thing you're creating, the beauty of it will shine through, even if the details aren't all in order. Desire is the fuel of creators, and when we have that, motivation will come in its wake. 
 ALSO: I want someone to actually make monstrous sea now????? like you know how with fangirl, we got carry on??? can someone make this comic happen bc it sounds like the kind of thing I would read the hell out of. 
 thanks. sincerely,
