“Read non-fiction to know things about the world. Read fiction to understand it.”
– M. L. Wang, author of the Theonite series
“In a way, it was true. My hands and mind could do things no one else’s could, but I was too young then to understand that some power—the kind that really matters—comes from other people. And what good is being faster, or stronger, or smarter than everyone else when it leaves you all alone?”

“On this planet, I understand that your skin color is something of a privilege. On Duna, I’m afraid it will be just the opposite.”
“Having powers wasn’t what changed my life. For thirteen years, my powers were my life. What changed it was the realization that I was not the only one.”

Hm, any particular type of fiction? I’ll go ahead and suggest The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman (I just finished this one and it was so fun and an enjoyable read, perhaps it would help a slump), The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood, maybe The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters. Not sure if any of these appeal, but I think they’re all pretty entertaining books that might help get through a slump. Hope you overcome it! :)
“Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it’s morning again, they’ll wash away
Here it’s safe, here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.”
Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat
