"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."
Words of wisdom by Anais Nin that defines the Dora Graham story. The words on these pages would not be possible without a driving, relentless passion to tell stories and to share them with the world. Just as the mysterious human brain has a left and right side…a yin and yang…Dora Graham is a two-sided entity. She is black and white. Male and female. Fierce and gentle. Funny and serious. Kind and cruel. Humble and arrogant. The aim of the stories is to reflect all these aspects. Dora Graham lives in a parallel universe, constantly examining different ways to live life, and constantly at war with an alter ego. Anais Nin said many profound things that perfectly illustrate why we are all here at Authorsden. This one stands aside as probably the single most perfect statement.
“We write to taste life twice,
in the moment, and in retrospection”
