Jordan saying about losing her language as a kid and how it made her "shut up" and devastated her confidence gave me goosebumps. I've had the exact same experience. The questions were so thoughtful! The natural, respectful back-and-forth made it such a delightful interview. Great job💜
Loved this interview, and getting to know you better, Jordan! So much of what you shared here resonated with me, such as writing on the couch, your mind being quiet when you write, and needing a dedicated space for writing. I am no longer writing on the couch, but at the dining room table and this has worked wonders for me to have more space, but also to be fully present when I'm on the couch, spending time with my husband.
It’s great to know another writer who also had the same experience as me in terms of being an immigrant in the U.S. without knowing the language well and having a hard time fitting in at the beginning. I also wrote long letters to my friends in Hong Kong (and checked my mailbox every day) during my first year in California.

Nice to know you, Jordan 😊
Oh, yes, it sure is good to find solidarity. Nice to meet you.
