Weaving
At times, I thought that I had to postpone working on my book while this challenging chapter of my life is unfolding. I contemplated this possibility but then decided against it. It seems to me that weaving together my life experiences and research results in better writing. Writing as if my book exists in, and describes, a totally different universe from where I exist is inauthentic. Perhaps it depends on what humans value, what they want their own writing to be like and manifest (as is the case with any other activity). I want my works to be clear, raw, imperfect and authentic.
