Write Dangerous
"Dangerous writing is not serial killers or speed-crazed race car drivers. What makes writing dangerous is something much more personal. To write dangerous is something much more personal. To write dangerous is to go to parts of ourselves that we know exist but try to ignore—parts that are sad, sore; parts that are silent, and heavy. Taboo. Things that won't leave us alone."
Writing in a New Genre
"I enjoy the challenge. Writing in a new genre is like dating someone new. It's exciting. It's fun. It's uncomfortable. It forces you to try new things, tests your limits, teaches you how to overcome obstacles, and is an opportunity for growth."
Own your existence
"Claim your life, own your existence. Write in spite of whatever conflict you face."
