- Gets to humor by committing, doubling down, like in improv — if it’s not funny she knows she didn’t go far enough
- Delight and curiosity are what interest her in writing
- She has a wishlist of storytelling formats she wants to use and looks for a story that can only be told that way — like PowerPoint
- Gives a lot of thought to what experience she wants the reader to have and how she can achieve that with unique viewpoints
- Sees fiction as the only narrative format that can let us live in someone else’s head
