This has me feeling pretty affirmed in my love for TLJ.
Luke throwing away his lightsaber and Yoda burning* the ancient texts demonstrate a deep understanding of Luke and Yoda as characters, and fanboys mad about it demonstrate that they never understood the point.
*yes I know, the texts survive
Many people do not, in fact, understand this.

PERMISSION
I don’t usually do “Author Twitter” posts because frankly my experience as an author has been short, so I sense my experience in that arena is limited enough that any advice I’d give still feels like speculation—but this one I actually feel qualified to answer.
As the questioner noted there are two questions:

1)How did this happen for you?
2)How did you write something ambitious even though you were unestablished?

But let me make it one question again.
Here’s the one question:

1)How did you realize your ambition as a writer?

I've thought about it a lot. One answer is, I haven't yet. But that's too cute. I've realized much of it.

The answer is: I gave myself permission to, and then I got lucky—but a particular sort of luck.

These stories are important and should keep being told.

But where are the stories of the immunocompromised people these deliberately ignorant fuckwits infected and killed?

When do they have to answer for that?
When are they going to lay these infuriating stories at the feet of the media figures who even still push an aggressive antivax disinformation campaign, and the platforms that allow it?

When do they have to answer for that?
The tone of these pieces is like a story of a drunk driver, which focuses only on how lucky he was to survive while displaying no curiosity about others involved in the accident, or the national advertising campaign that equates drunk driving with personal freedom.

These are the people the Republican Party represents and defends as a first priority.
Feel like a party that represents and promotes white supremacy as a first priority is a white supremacist organization, not sure why we’d think otherwise.
Again, the white supremacists and neo Nazis that he’s describing are enjoying coordinated and vigorous protection by almost every elected Republican.

Draw the clear conclusion.

Once again I recommend an executive order that immediately makes all registered Republicans as of 1/6/21 permanently ineligible to hold or seek any elected or appointed public office, and announces all replacements effective immediately.
January 6, 2021 was both predictable and predicted; it was planned and plotted; it was led by the Republican president, it was one of the most terrifying days in US history, it almost succeeded, and the Republican party is almost uniformly working to ensure it happens again.
I'm not a lawyer, but one of the two political parties is a domestic threat to the security of the United States and is actively working to degrade its constitution and its democracy, which seems: a) bad; and b) not tenable.

Extreme solutions are appropriate to extreme threats.

It's worth pondering why every call for civility is issued for the benefit of those who have dedicated their lives to incivility.

It's worth pondering why every call for healing centers on those who have done the harming.
It's worth pondering why every call for respect is issued for the benefit of those who have proven they don't value or understand respect.
It's worth pondering why every call for forgiveness is issued for the benefit of those who never admitted their wrong, who themselves would never forgive, who are even now actively working to continue and increase the damage they've already caused.

Some exciting personal news.
Someday soon I will become a pajama MAN.
What's the point of going to 4 years of pajama man school if you're not going to remain insufferable.
