First thing that came to my mind is weird, but the more I think about it, the more it seems right for this historical moment. My favorite fictional couple: Offred and The Commander (aka Fred), from Margaret Atwood's THE HANDMAID'S TALE, because they serve to remind us about power, authority, rebellion, and the stakes of acting based on fear and repression.

There are so many "best things." I love when an idea, or a whisper of an idea, slips from my unconscious to my conscious mind, and I can grab a scrap of paper or my laptop and put it into tangible form, explore it and watch it bloom, almost without my controlling it. I love when I've written something that I know hits every tone I want, and it (ashamed to admit) makes me cry. I love the independence of writing. I love playing with words, though it's not my strength. I love, perhaps most of all, the way writing makes me look more attentively at people and the world.
