“Art is made from a place of obsession, be it with an idea, a process, or the self. Inspiration is the initial seed of obsession, of the continuous turning over of a thing in the mind until you must do something with it. When I go through the seasons of not writing, I think it’s because I am gathering these seeds, waiting for something to grow.”
