“All of us in this field wrestle with what’s fair game about other people & also what’s fair game for ourselves…in terms of what we’re willing to reveal to our loved ones in print, what we probably don’t tell them in person.” - @saribotton.bsky.social is my guest! ronitplank.com/2025/02/06/l...

Grateful to SugarSugarSalt for reprinting this braided essay, a companion to my memoir, The Full Catastrophe, out on 2/18/25 from Motina Books. If you love soccer or Sondheim or writing that invites you to make meaning in the negative space, I hope you'll give this piece a read!

“I am struggling so hard to feel close to anyone right now. My experiences creating more and more barriers between me and the people I interact with. My past an ocean of garbage to wade through to get to the tenderest parts of me.” #essay #CreativeNonfiction sugarsugarsalt.org/2025/01/12/c...
