Third, when you are writing at that level, and what I mean at that level is when you're trying to be deeply personal, you got to get it right.

And it's take after take after take after take after take.

And there's some things that you write that are awful and you go, I can't do it.

There's other days where it's just flowing and you feel so good.

And most of the days are what I call absolute just plowing.

You have to plow through.

to do it oh sure I think it was a really an exercise in self-awareness number one my own limitations as a writer I mean we all talk about my father everyone remembers my dad and

I miss my dad and I love my dad, but my mom is the best writer in the family.

She's the writer.

She wrote for the Vogue and Rolling Stone and Village Voice, special correspondent for Vanity Fair.

She's written a book.

So there is that pressure as well.

I think for me, what was good is that once I got into a rhythm and I had sort of seen, all right, this is where you were in January of 19 and you wrote all the way through the summer of 2020.

And the stuff that came in the summer of 2020 was pretty good comparative to where I started.

So I was able to chart the progress and read it in time.

And that gave me some confidence.

But I think the most terrifying aspect of it, especially in my book, which is very personal and goes into some deep, dark places – there's a lot of highs and lows and peaks and valleys –

But when you put that into a proposal and then you have to bring in publishers and other people and they might not understand what you're trying to say, that is the most nerve wracking part for me, at least.

As I write in the book, my mom is.

She didn't look over your shoulder.
