Write the book that only you could write because no one else carries your obsessions, your point of view, or your version of love.

Let’s fckin gooooo
I woke up this morning and my inner voice said: I have taken the time off I'm going to take. Back to work.
The writing waited while I raged, grieved, carb-loaded, dissociated, and spent time with beloveds, and now I owe it some time and attention.
Logging off and clocking in. Let's go.

someone told me in grad school that my voice had “unearned confidence”—as a young woc in british lit, i HAD to write confidently to make space for myself.
a white man said in workshop: “maybe she’s not ready for a novel”
THESE FUEL ME. I now write confident gay novels. What have you done, BEN?

What's a crappy piece of feedback that fuels you? Someone once said that my poems were bad because anyone could understand them.
It made me realize how important it was for me to achieve clarity in my writing.
