Our mind is often the one that needs the most convincing that our writing is worthwhile. This is because our mind is hard-wired to protect us from any possible danger. You see, in order to protect us, our mind initially perceives anything it encounters as a threat—including your writing.

When my memoir, The Sky Begins At Your Feet: A Memoir on Cancer, Community and Coming Home to the Body, was in its just-about final, final, final draft, a friend who had recently read it told me to cut the part where I kind of diss a family member. As soon as she suggested this, a chord stuck through the core of me. I knew she was right, and I also knew how much I didn't ever want to use my writing to counter negative family dynamics in this way, and more to the point, how I wasn't a writer so I "get back at" people who had done me wrong. My decision at that point was easy: the scene wasn't crucial to the book, and the family member was an exceedingly minor character, but this experience, along with teaching studentswriting memoir and memoir-esque projects for years, has made me think hard about what it means to write about real people.

Laurell K. Hamilton - Is my main writing role model, not just because I love both her Merry Gentry and her Anita Blake series, but because she is also a super-cool person. Most writers, once they are successful seem to be quite distant from their readers, but Laurell makes herself, her writing, and her life very accessible through her blog, and I really like that.
