An article published in Flavorwire hails Cheryl Strayed (Rumpus’ very own Sugar) as a publishing hero. In Jason Diamond’s words, “Strayed is the rare type of writer who is both critically and commercially embraced, but also keeps her feet firmly planted in the literary world.” But how did this come to be?
Diamond suggests that Strayed’s work ethic is the key. “Strayed has found the success most people will never know, but she working like she still has something to prove. It’s something that keeps readers interested…”
Successful as Strayed may be, she is still writing like a motherfucker.
