My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

A couple of nights ago, while walking home from a play, Z ended an explanation of some recent drama with the stunning exclamation of "seriously? You just GOT here, Sheila!"
Made even better because nobody in the story was called Sheila. Perfect stock phrase alongside "she doesn't even go here!"

Writing can be a lonely business, but it doesn't have to be! Even the best of us go through fallow periods, self-doubt, multiple abandoned drafts. The trick is not to let any of that derail you entirely, or to believe that other writers are your competition. They're your colleagues & your champions.
What sort of message do you hope people take away from your most recent book/wip? #WritingPrompt
