Day 26: JOMPBPC: Black And White
Bottom line: there’s nothing wrong with questioning, and I personally don’t think self-discovery has an expiration date. For some, labels are grounding and give a sense of identity. Others find them too narrow or restrictive. Some might be attracted to one gender identity at one point and a different gender identity at another. A guy who has only ever been attracted to men might find himself attracted to a woman. A girl who has only ever liked boys might find herself falling for her trans female best friend.
None of this is as simple as we want it to be. And I think that should be okay. Being who you are and loving who you love may not be easy, but it’s always worthwhile.
Odd One Out - Nic Stone (Author’s Notes)
Did you read all our Pep Talks last year? Although we’re past November, author Nic Stone’s Pep Talk is still full of excellent writing wisdom. Read the full Pep Talk here!

Nic Stone was born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta, GA, and the only thing she loves more than an adventure is a good story about one. After graduating from Spelman College, she worked extensively in teen mentoring and lived in Israel for a few years before returning to the US to write full-time. Growing up with a wide range of cultures, religions, and backgrounds, Stone strives to bring these diverse voices and stories to her work.
You can find her goofing off and/or fangirling over her adorable little family on most social media platforms.
