It's difficult to write the novel because the inspiration for the novel was the way women treat me in disability services, but the novel becomes its own story. The novel feels like it writes itself, and I have to be there to see it through. Writing the novel becomes sort of like writing down a long dream because I don't feel like I'm consciously creating the story. Like an actor, I have to be there to support the characters, and it could wear me down but I'm hopeful the book will be good enough
