@rokwon.bsky.social at her terrific @sewaneewriters.bsky.social reading: “Push each line to be the most truest, living version of itself. This is your life. This is your joy, don't get distracted.”

Having a blast! Encouraged to learn that more #AAPI parents are encouraging, (or at least allowing) their kids topursue writing: fiction, nonfiction, poetry or playwriting. Many of them have MFAs from top programs too. @sewaneewriters.bsky.social

All the world’s a stage, and all the #sewaneewriters merely karaoke stars. 🎤 #sewaneewritersconference #sewaneemagic
