Both readings received rave reviews for content and performance.
Being a writer largely isolated, sitting in a corner writing in the whole day, to tell a true-life story of growing up around domestic violence in front of a group of strangers was a daunting thought. But I realized my story was just as important as any other.
… to see a notional reader spring up, real and embodied, listening with rapt attention was both exhilarating and (happily) disorienting. This should last until I submit my next story!
