A Cathedral of Myth and Bone: Stories by Kat Howard
5.0
From the Introduction: (unnumbered)
"Writing, for me, is an act of faith. When I sit down to write, I have to believe in what I am writing. Any hesitation, any loss of faith, and the story breaks down, falls apart. I have words scribbled on pages - maybe even beautiful words - but without belief, they're not a story. And the faith doesn't end there. I have to believe that the story will find an audience. That somewhere out in the world, there is a reader who will also believe in that story, and in that act of belief is where the miracle occurs: the story becomes real."
