I'm curious, if you do something like journaling or Morning Pages (as per Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way): What's your take on the relationship of that practice to your writing in general? Do you consider journaling/MPs "writing"? If yes, or no, why or why not?

What's your favorite project to have worked on?

I feel that being a writer is a relational process, that my art is inspired by reading. Currently, I'm drawn to Audre Lorde's essay, "My Mother's Mortar," which explores the intimate relationship between mothers and daughters and the connection with the body and self. I've been thinking about the interwoven nature of women's relationships and how we support each other as we confront societal oppression. The project that I'm working on is a celebration of female ancestral ties and women's bodies, including my own. Lorde speaks to the heart of my writing. What piece or writer is currently nurturing your creative process?
