“ Why write stories? To join the conversation. ”
Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.
~ Dorothy Allison
Write to your fear.
I did not begin with craft, I began with strong feelings and worked toward craft.
Before I published any of my own stories, I read a great many stories by people as passionate about writing as I was, and I learned something from everyone I read -- something most important what I should not try to write.
