Until the Ink Dries

The story felt so genuine and heartfelt, but I wondered if that was a conscious choice or if it evolved naturally during writing. How does the author approach this balance?

The descriptions of the creative process and artwork made the story feel so vivid. I’m curious if the author drew from personal experiences or research.

The African American community and urban environment felt authentic and enriched the characters’ journeys. Was there a specific inspiration behind these choices?
