Omg! @crystalbell hit the nail on the head! "What makes Sunny and Lupe's quest feel fresh is that it's centered on young women of color and how their identities intersect with their coming-of-age." YAS! Article contains spoilers. #PlanBHulu

The central premise of the publishing industry seems to be, What if we take the softest people we can find and make them compete against each other for the smallest prize in the world?
Today is my first Mother’s Day and while I never felt sure I was destined to be “a mom,” I know without a doubt that I was destined to be my child’s mom
Wasn’t sure it was possible or if I even wanted to. I had perfected living my best life, savored my independence and kept bumping up against fertility roadblocks. I never had baby fever, never felt that my sole calling was to be a mom, and had barely held a baby.
For a whole decade this day brought up my ambivalence about my identity as a childless woman. For many years I didn’t know if I would ever celebrate my own Mother’s Day.

sorry, there’s already a queer story that uses a slightly similar premise, so we’re going to pass. anyways, have you seen that hallmark movie about a white business girl who goes home for christmas and falls for a local boy?
I keep getting agent fdbck that they love my premise but my book isn’t coming alive for them...I know my manu needs work 💯 and also wondering if I have to make my emo introverted culturally ambivalent 4th gen MexAm protagonist wear a sombrero and dance ballet folklorico – at West Hollywood, CA

@daynaco would love to read “essays that are experimental; essays about fertility, race, and class; essays about 90s television shows; essays about Drake.” @The_Rumpus #RumpusEssays
