4, 7, 20! 🥰🥰

4. what does it take for you to be proud of something you’ve written?

Not giving up and seeing my vision through. I just have to finish something naturally, and then, even if I see mistakes, I'm happy I lived it out thoroughly in my mind and expressed it as close as I could from my imagination.

7. what books have shaped the way you think about writing the most? why?

I think the only way to learn how to write is to read, so it's important to me to read classics and see what makes them just that. That's not to say that classics are the only books you should read—hell no—but I like to take note of what makes each author unique and their work long-lasting. Reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte showed me how women in non-progressive times used writing as a way to project their voice. It's about a woman who leaves her abusive husband and provides a living for herself and her child through being an artist, which was unheard of in Victorian England. At the time it was published it was quite revolutionary. Men weren't criticized for their vices or their failings at parenting, and as someone who also uses writing as a way to find my voice, it struck a chord deep within me how Anne made strides for women's rights just by telling a story.

Another great book is A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders. He's an MFA professor and in this book he analyzes a few Russian short stories that are profoundly multifaceted. There was one story in particular—The Singers, I believe—that was beautiful because it wasn't perfect, and he went on to explain how as humans, we are flawed, and because of our imperfections what we write can never be perfect. All writing is about is finding our voice. We can't control our art and we have to accept that. I found that pretty liberating.
