How did you approach the theme/topic when you first received the prompt?

From: Gladys Kyauta YahayaRe: The Architecture of the Twilight

I read through the prompt several times, thought up different story ideas that could fit into the theme provided, and ran them by a friend who was also submitting a piece.

From: Herlore EditorsTo: Gladys Kyauta Yahaya

What drew you to the particular angle you explored in your story?

From: Gladys Kyauta YahayaRe: The Architecture of the Twilight

What drew me into the angle is the fact that I am a sucker for sisterhood—whether it is forged by family ties or by life, in reality or in fiction.

From: Herlore EditorsTo: Gladys Kyauta Yahaya

Did writing this piece change or deepen your own perspective on the topic?

From: Gladys Kyauta YahayaRe: The Architecture of the Twilight

It deepened my perspective and enforced the notion that no matter how different sisters are, they always find their way back to themselves.

From: Herlore EditorsTo: Gladys Kyauta Yahaya

If readers remember just one idea from your piece, what would you want it to be?

From: Gladys Kyauta YahayaRe: The Architecture of the Twilight

Again, sisterhood in its purest and most authentic form.

From: Herlore EditorsTo: Gladys Kyauta Yahaya

Complete the sentence: “I hope my writing makes people…”

From: Gladys Kyauta YahayaRe: The Architecture of the Twilight

“…yearn for the most wholesome forms of sisterhood in women who see them for who they are and love them unabashedly.”
