- From "Purple" by Kinjal Sheth
Fiction,
Field Notes,
I have no doubt that some artists really do create spontaneously. That is not me. And that is not most writers I know.
Field Notes,
I didn’t come to writing school to pursue a topic, but to pursue writing, as a craft. From one sentence, I wanted to build the next. I came here to dress myself up in literature. If words were my bones, their cadence my muscle, my body’s movement would be voice, pure voice (okay, my voice).
Field Notes,
The imposter syndrome, the fear of failure, the fear of rejection stopped me before I even started. Escaping was easier, and perhaps it’s necessary for a while. Sooner or later, though, every writer must decide—if not now, when will I write?
