Stuck on a fight scene? Put down **THEY FIGHT**

Not in the mood for a romantic scene you have to write? Put down **ROMANCE ENSUES**

(Use asterisks or other symbols to help you find it later, and don’t be afraid to use different colors!)

Real talk here, especially for writing longer works:

You need to trust yourself to pull it together by the end, even if you think you’re going completely off the rails. The trust might be unfounded, hell, you might even be wrong, but you need to do it.

Trust your story. Trust the point you want to get across. Trust your subconsciousness to get it right. Because the moment you start to doubt and second guess yourself, you stall. Get to the end, then you can see if you succeeded or not.

She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.

She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.

The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.

She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”  

She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.

She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.
