Good writing comes from a desire to understand. Sometimes this leads to dark places. But that darkness is as much a part of truth and memory as light. That’s your obligation: to the truth. Your truth.

I think that when I am truly immersed in a paragraph or a line and aware of what inside me needs to be expressed, I am a writer. I am writing. Tell me: what are your current beliefs about being a writer?

Some writers are at their creative best right now. Others are not able to create at all and all of this is okay. There is no one right way to process this time.
