Lauren Hough discussed her essay collection Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing with Fresh Air.
I think writing, naturally, feels a little bit secretive. You start writing in notebooks under your blanket with a flashlight. So it feels like this secretive thing that's just between you and the page. I have a long history of telling my secrets to a piece of paper. I didn't want to publish any of it until there was a reason to, because who knows what the difference is between trauma porn and writing, but I didn't want to traumatize anybody with my story. ... If I was going to tell any of it, I wanted to have a point and a reason and something I was trying to say.

Pitchfork interviewed singer-songwriter Hayden Anhedönia, aka Ethel Cain.
Trans women have a very specific makeup in their brain and their body that makes them the way that they are, and it all comes into play with Ethel Cain. She’s tall. She’s got sharp features. She’s got a low voice. She’s got broad shoulders. She looks loving and soft but she also looks like she could rip your heart out with her bare hands. That’s how I feel in my everyday life.

How would you compare the two processes — writing songs, writing a book?
I think they're connected processes in that they draw from a similar pool of memories. It certainly took a much longer amount of time to write a book, and it was more of an analytical process. I feel like writing music is more intuitive. But, there are lots of references in the book to my music – shared titles and quoted lyrics, things like that. One of the things I put in "Jubilee" [her forthcoming album] was a line about fermentation and fermenting; and there's an entire chapter in the memoir about that. I really loved hiding Easter eggs like that in the pages.
