My career as an author began on the floor of my closet. Auspicious, I know. I still can’t say exactly why, when I was up feeding my newborn baby in the middle of the night, scrawling longhand into a notebook, the closet floor was the spot I chose. But it was still the early days of motherhood, where our son’s crib was tucked inside our bedroom, and something about leaving our nest in the dark felt like breaking a sacred seal....
