When you say doing it well, you mean like stepping out of it, stepping out a little bit. What's hard is you want to keep the narrative energy going if this is my story and we're really focussing what happened to me. You can't just get side tracked with like, you know, the cab driver cut me off,. Now we're going to have to stop for a chapter and really look at his childhood before we go back to the car chase. It ruins the story. But i do think im for the big things, for the important things, for people that are going to be recognizeable to really pause long enough that there is a hint at that larger story
Tara Westover is the author of Educated.
“I used to be so fearful. ... I was afraid of losing my family. Then, after I had lost them, I was afraid that I made the wrong decision. Then I wrote the book and I was afraid that was the wrong decision. Everything made me frightened back then, and I just—I don't have that feeling now.”
