One Question Interview with Kali, the MC of Symbiosis

Kali, what is your one greatest fear?

A lot of things frighten me these days. It’s hard to choose just one. Ordinarily I don’t waste energy being afraid of things I can’t change… but I am not sure anymore what is within my power and what isn’t.

I’m afraid of Estebahn. I’ve never met anyone so far removed from what is good or right. Sometimes I’m afraid of Jesse.

Life has never been normal before, but at least it was easier to pretend it was before I came here. I’m afraid life could get even harder. I’m afraid of losing my skin again, or even worse.

But I guess the one greatest fear is that I’m wrong. Wrong about Jesse, wrong in my decision to help him. I mean, the stakes are pretty high. Most of all, though, what if I’m wrong about myself?

5:30 a.m. on a Sunday, I #amwriting

Yesterday I woke with a song in my head. This morning it was a scene from my WIP. And since I’m not sleepy anymore, I decided I’d spend my early morning time writing while the house is silent.

It’s a difficult scene. I’m trying to release some details to important information (important to the characters and story line, anyway) but I don’t want it to come across as dumping. So, I might not get to say all I’d like to say in this particular scene, but if I can figure out how to get most of it in there, it’ll be gratifying.
