If you had to write a book right now, what would the plot be?

In high school I wrote a story and I meant to make a sequel. So I would choose that because I already have thoughts on it. It was meant to be a series. The main character of the first one has two siblings and each book would follow the siblings and their stories. So for the second one, the main character’s brother would have an eating disorder because I feel like that is not talked about a lot in guys. He would then meet someone who also has issues and they would connect because their ex boyfriend/girlfriend cheated on them with each other. 

What is something you have done recently that challenges your mindset/identity, etc.?

I am in a bit of a scuffle with one of the organizations I am involved in, so that has been challenging and navigating narrative and learning what is worth investing my energy in and pushing back on.

If you had the entire day to yourself, what would you do?

Sleep.

What is the scariest thing you have ever done and why did you do it?

Emotionally, I had to stop being friends with someone. We had a big fight and I had to make the decision to not be friends with them after they tried to come back into my life. It was because the fight was bad and they were not good for me. I did not want to keep repeating that.
