Savor a seafood pancake with the award-winning writer Ai Jiang as we discuss why being nominated for multiple awards may actually have made her Imposter Syndrome worse,  what  the Odyssey workshop taught her which helped her finish her first novel (and whether that book might be too ambitious a debut), the novels which made her want to be a writer, what makes us power on in the face of rejection, how writing is like competitive badminton, the secret to writing successful flash fiction, the book she was given  which turned her from a pessimist into an optimist, what she learned from her "soul-draining" career as a ghostwriter, how an editorial suggestion turned Linghun from flash fiction into a novella, the most daunting aspects of revision, and much more.
