How did you care for yourself in the process of writing this book?
In terms of preparing for that throughout the writing process, I dont have a super-easy answer.

I guess the concept of justice after sexual assault doesnt feel very salient for me.
I dont know what justice looks like after youve experienced that sort of annihilative violence.

I feel lighter and more open.
