A peek into the journals of Octavia Butler. 

Legendary sci-fi author Octavia Butler wrote landmark books like Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Dawn. In a notebook of hers archived at the Huntington Library, it’s clear Butler had a strong vision for her future. On this page in 1988, she wrote, “My books will be read by millions of people. So be it! See to it!” 

That’s what happened—after willing her work into existence, her work is now part of the science fiction canon.
