Quote by Michael Koryta
I made a very conscious effort to finish 'The Cypress House' before 'So Cold the River' launched, because I thought that would help build a buffer between my writing and any impact that came from either the success or the failure of that first book.
Summary
The author wanted to distance themselves emotionally and creatively from the outcome of their first book, 'So Cold the River', so they made a deliberate decision to complete their next book, 'The Cypress House', beforehand. By doing this, they hoped to create a protective barrier between their writing process and any possible repercussions, whether positive or negative, that could result from the success or failure of their previous work. This strategic move allowed them to focus on their craft and maintain a level of detachment from external influences.
