There Is Nothing As Tentative

I Think It’s Very Important To Write A Demythologized Woman Character. My Characters Are Flawed. They Are No Better Than They Should Be.

There Is Something Wonderful About A Death, How Everything Shuts Down, And All The Ways You Thought You Were Vital Are Not Even Vaguely Important.
