Grappling with the questions...

"I'm at a place in my life where I am very focused; I've pared a lot of the noise out of my life. I don't have a lot of time to write, but I feel an urgency to write, and I feel an urgency about where the writing lands. The stakes are higher now. I want the work to be sustaining and surprising and mysterious. Am I grappling with the questions I need to be grappling with? I bring the best of myself now."
