Beatrice Lebrun writes the kind of stories that make people cry, scream, or whisper “I shouldn’t relate to this.” She’s an author and illustrator obsessed with emotional horror, queer longing, and the quiet devastation of being alive.

Born in Venezuela and now based in the U.S., Beatrice grew up living in another world entirely. Dealing with intense maladaptive daydreaming since a very young age, she spent her childhood caught between realities: one
mundane and expected, the other wild, dangerous, and hers. When the world
demanded she stay grounded, she turned to writing since then, just to keep the other realities alive.

Yo soy una persona bastante testaruda, cuando me encapricho por escribir no existe nada en el mundo que haga que lo olvide; ni siquiera un bloqueo.
Dependiendo de la historia, del lugar, de la situación, utilizo música o imágenes para convocar la inspiración. En muchas oportunidades solamente me basta con cerrar los ojos y escribir al azar, ideas o trozos de texto, que poco a poco me vayan dando una idea aproximada de lo que sucederá.
Algo que intenté recientemente y creo que ha funcionado, al menos en las historias en las que estoy empleando esta medida, es planear cada capítulo, con el fin de que al llegar a él ya tenga una idea más clara de todo.(less)

Puedo asegurar que Caos contiene más cosas sobre mí que cualquier diario personal que haya tenido jamás; y así como Caos, cada una de mis historias.
Para mí, la mejor parte de escribir es esa, descubrir una persona completamente nueva escondida detrás de las palabras.(less)

Why Writing This Book Is My Act of Defiance

Writing is my rage, my grief, my rebellion. This is why Glowrot matters.

I don't know how else to cope right now except through art. Through Glowrot. Through the rage and grief that spill into every page. Because when everything feels like it's slipping., when it feels like the world is closing in, I need to remind myself that stories have always been a refuge and resistance for so many people.
