I see writer's block as a signal from within that I would be writing trash if I tried. Sometimes, ideas need time to percolate. I don't fight it. When I'm truly inspired, wild horses couldn't drag me from my writing.

I started My Friend from Raffles City while I was missing Singapore during the COVID pandemic. I couldn't travel internationally and it was getting to me. Not to suggest that I only miss the food in Singapore, but thoughts about food were certainly how it all started.
