“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
LL: That’s the cycle, right? You write a first draft, but then it’s all editing and revising, and then it’s publicity, and then, finally you start a new project.
TW: Honestly wasn’t sure I would be here again. All Our Ordinary Stories was so much the book of my heart, and kind of the one achievement I really wanted to accomplish in my writing life. I kind of thought, ‘Well, what am I going to do next? Will I even write another book?’ Like, it doesn’t feel as high stakes anymore. But I feel like with those stakes being removed, I feel a freedom I haven’t had in 20 years, either. Now I can do whatever, I can do anything. I don’t have the burden or responsibility to tell these stories anymore, because I’ve done it. I hope this book that I’m working on now will go somewhere, but I’m just finding a lot of joy in working on something that isn’t heavy.
