What keeps Grizelle from sleeping?
Anger, grief and fear. She's got a lot on her plate at the start of the story, and sleep is just another casualty of that.

21 — MC POV: What has ended recently in your life?
Everything I ever knew is over. I cannot claim Cullchane without losing my freedom because I am not my father's son. And I would lose Iago if I let the King decide my fate.
Iago is all I have left.

17. Cont.
5 things I will never do as a writer.
3. Write things I can’t believe in.
4. Stop thinking about writing
5. Worry about making money from writing. It’s wrong that creatives don’t get the financial support they really need to be free to create, but its also the way things currently are. Doesn’t stop me from believing in a better way, though.

5 things I will never do as a writer.
1 Create shallow, one dimensional, perfect characters.
2 Refrain from trying to make a moral or political point with my work. That’s partly the reason I write, so I'm afraid that won’t change. I feel like it’s a duty on my part to try and point out why equality, socialism (little s) and representation make the world a better place. Sorry, not sorry.
