Kyle Lucia Wu Leaves Room to Think Expansively

At BOMB Magazine, Kyle Lucia Wu discusses her debut novel, Win Me Something, as well as the process of balancing discipline with self-kindness when writing. “In the early years of writing this book, I was waking up super early to write before work or setting word count goals that I had to meet,” Wu explains. “I do think discipline and routine are valuable, but so are rest and space and being kind to yourself. I still struggle with wanting to be productive, but I think my early fixation with productiveness didn’t allow me the space I needed to think expansively and intuitively.”
