I feel like I'm in a major life transition right now, one that we don't tend to talk and write as much about. And it's a time that requires a kind of reinvention that we aren't talking that much about. Because it hit me simultaneous to lockdown in the pandemic, I kind of was made the transition in a more abrupt way than maybe I would have otherwise.
Peggy Orenstein is a journalist and author. Her latest book is Unraveling.
“The challenge is… to not want to say, I need to know what the book is about. I need to have my chapters. I need to know what exactly I'm looking for. Because it's really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there's going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you're going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those sorts of books for me.”
