There are moments now when I feel so full – when three or four different stories are pouring out of me simultaneously, battling for supremacy in this séance (this literary eucharist?) we mundanely term “art.”
Different narratives, cascading in moments: scenes for "Fragments..." scenes for a yet-unnamed family narrative… scenes from another memoir… words of unwritten letters.
Amid these battling (but complementary) voices, I pause for a moment, trying to prioritize. Then I pluck the thread of the most compelling narrative – of Fragments – and hope the others will wait for my return.

I saw your post about your dad. I am a New York Times bestselling author working on a new book about father-daughter relationships and thought you might want to contribute. Please visit my page for details about submitting stories for Daddy's Little Girl.
