I spend a ton of time thinking about that question. Itโs an occupational hazard since I spend so much time pretending to be someone Iโm not. Writing fiction is basically playing pretend as an adult...alone...now it's starting to sound sad. ๐

I read a lot of memoirs, and I interview people, and I try to put myself in their shoes.
