Thank you!

Often my short stories and novels come from a place of great sadness deep inside myself.

I tire sometimes of being told I need to write more positive stories. I think I need to write true stories.

I think when we cover up the hard truths of our lives in favor of sugar-coated versions straight/cis people are happy to feel good about, we erase a big part of who we are.

I’m really happy that some of us have happy stories. But many of us don’t, and our truths matter.
