When you're writing, it's almost your best self in some ways, because you can be really calm and reflective. I try to sit down, even when a story's me, and think about, maybe it is all about me. Ye, and i can actually tell stories. Let us say, well, there's a thing that happened with a guy, and thre's a thing, and there's another thing, and it was in a place. Well, this is just a snapshot, you know, a snapsho tara, thank you. My pleasure in thanks for listening to long form.

“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.”
