Hey! I am an ENORMOUS fan of Kat Howards' Roses and Rot, particularly the way it always sets off my own desire to write, bury myself in my art, and generally burst into a creative phase. The magic and the Fae realm seething around the residency are big parts of this, but so is the focus placed on the craftsmanship, work, and mentorship. Reading it always puts me in the same mindspace as my best writing experiences and achievements.
Can anyone recommend books in a similar setting that might spark the same mood?
