V. E. Schwab Instagram – My hands are shaking, and it’s definitely not from the three pots of tea and one latte. 2.5 years after I made the first notes. 1.5 years after I wrote the first lines. The first draft of my next standalone novel is officially done. 135,000 words, on hunger, immortality, and rage. My Florence the Machine, my Lesbian ode to Anne Rice, my heart and bones book is down on paper, and I am so incredibly scared and overwhelmed. But right now, I’m also really fucking proud. #toxiclesbianvampires #veschwab
