Last night, I spoke to the new group of Emerging Voices fellows at PEN Center USA West. My collegue Jenoyne Addams and I have done Author Nights with them for the past several years. I do this because eleven years ago, I was an Emerging Voice.
The writer's life is hard. It's filled with insecurity and fear. However, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Somewhere in this life is the satisfaction of creativity and the belief that I'm doing something to help the world somehow.

And writing is really fun too! We keep that a secret sometimes, even from ourselves, but spending an afternoon making up stories is like being a kid on a playground. So what if we earn about the same amount of money that we did when we were kids on playgrounds?
