Truth Telling
"If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it
interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing
real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the
emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being
unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you
have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth
is always subversive."
