So with MUSE being out next week, I'm like, heidi, why have you not done more to promote this book? But I know why. And the answer is probably familiar to anyone who writes about their own ish: i am absolutely scared about how much a bipolar main character meant to me. As some of you know, in my first series, the bipolar character that represented "me" was secondary, and I made him an older white guy. And some people haaaaatttteee himmmmm. And that's okay? Because I get it? But it's also a lot, emotionally.
