"The most important thing I've learned is to trust my instincts. My professor Kathryn Harrison had this interesting way of putting it, that it's like walking a tightrope, and you're doing it but, the minute you start having doubts or second-guessing yourself—that's when you start to lose your balance. It took me a while to get to a place where I finally did trust my instincts, and it was very liberating. From then on, I felt more confident to take risks in the writing and break the rules, if you will."

"It took me awhile to get to that place. But I think that once you have the confidence to write from your gut, that's when the magic really starts to happen."
