Day 1.1

This is my (Sunshowersy's) personal writing and reading journal. I have 3 aims:

1. Document my writing journey.
2. Write down my thoughts about the fiction books I'm reading.
3. Talk about Touhou Project, fanfiction, fandoms, books.

I will strive to write every day, since I strive to write fiction every day. English is not my first language but I am determined to make it my language of expression. I do not expect readers, but they are welcome.

Day 1.2: Readings, 3rd Week May

Carson McCullers month! My favorite author, among my first literary loves (my first: Terry Pratchett, my second: Arundhati Roy, my third: Richard Yates). Recently, a biography came out, and I've been slowly going through all her fiction, apace with my biography-reading.

• Carson McCullers: A Life, Mary V. Dearborn, Knopf, 2024.
• Wunderkind (Collected Short Stories), Carson McCullers, Penguin, 2013.
• The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Carson McCullers, Mariner Books, 1940.
• Carson McCullers: Stories, Plays & Other Writings, Carson McCullers, Library of America, 2017.

Carson shines even brighter this time around.
