What a delightful person, and interview! Ann, congrats on all your hard won success. You are an inspiration :)

At 3:50 when she said even if she never published a book she would keep writing for herself. After months of frustration I have decided to write what I want to write instead of second guessing an audience. It's amazing how freeing that is. She also said she felt undeserving to take up space, reconsidered and decided she actually did deserve it, and she would fill that space with the most meaningful version of herself. I think I could listen to her talk all day.

Your failure shaped you and your authenticity deepened your writing. True inspiration. Thanks for fighting your depression and being here to guide us today.
