Prizes encourage me to work harder on my next project.” FeelsWritingEnoughJobsNextKnowingProduceHard WorkProjectsConcernedAspectHarderGet UpPrizeAwkwardPromotingPromotionWork HarderSociable Author:Sefi Atta
“I get stage fright with short stories. For me it feels like standup comedy: kill or die. I'm more confident when I begin a novel because I know I have space to fail.” KnowsFeelsStoriesDiesSpaceNovelComedyFailingStageShort StoryFrightStage Fright Author:Sefi Atta
