pregnancy wells filled
When I was pregnant, I felt filled with life, and I felt really happy. I ate well, and I slept well. I felt much more useful than I'd ever felt before.
mother games gone
Mother my friends are no longer my friends And the games we once played have no meaning I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why So they've left me to my own daydreaming.
rights feminist categories
To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.
writing voice details
Writing in other voices is almost Japanese in the sense that theres a certain formality there which allows me to sidestep the embarrassment of directly expressing to complete strangers the most intimate details of my life.
mother wife discipline
It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.
writing civilized
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized.
writing issues people
Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.
girl hurt fighting
There are no rules in fights with girls. Just hurting.
song writing order
But I never want to get to the point where I write a safe song or one that represents my sense of a subject in order to appear civilized.
kids fighting ifs
I didn't go out looking for fights as a kid, but if it was necessary, I'd fight. Fighting was a daily thing where we lived.
guitar feelings because-i-can
I fingerpick a lot because I can get more of a range of feeling from the guitar than I can when I bash away with a pick.
daughter given feels
I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.
song strong thinking
I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.
children responsibility parent
I was the oldest child, and both my parents worked, so I had a great deal of responsibility from a very young age.
