Is this a profession you’d suggest more women get into?

This will probably get buried, but I’ll give it a shot.

The Indian philosophy of Advaita Vedanta suggests that the entire universe and all the physical things that exist within it, is all just pure consciousness.

At its core, it suggests that rather than our conscious experience being produced in our brain which exists inside our skulls inside a body that exists in the world, it suggests that the opposite is true; that the entire universe is one big infinite mind, and that each “individual” person and our body is just a tiny concentration of consciousness within that infinite mind. In essence, our body is an “image” that exists in the mind, it’s not an actual tangible thing-we just perceive it to be. And when we “die” our tiny individual consciousness just gets released into the greater consciousness.

What do you make of this?

Hi Madeline! I read Circe last year, and I loved it so much that I loaned it to one of my friends who also just got back to me that she loved it too! Anyway, I just wanted to ask, what was the biggest roadblock you encountered on your journey to get Circe (or any other of your books) published, if any?
