This gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my own writing, and how to discuss trauma without making it sting, but knowing that details aren't always necessary.

Roxane Gay is one of my favorite contemporary feminists and writers, and this essay on writing I thought would be very different. The point seemed to be more the importance of telling your story rather than advice on how to do that. If you’ve read her other books there’s nothing new for you here.

Good essay, but it felt more like a ted talk or a lecture.
