I started writing Plutonic in January 2023 and even put my semi-autobiography on hold because it didn’t feel significant then. I was dealing with something else, a guilt of some sort. Yes, something happened, but it took a while for it to sink in. When your head is so wrapped up around things in life, you don’t pay close attention to what other people—I mean friends—might be going through. I’ve never seen myself as a good friend, but I try to be. The new novella is more about how I see myself in that regard. And that is all I will say.
