What Sustains Me Is To Be With

I Was Aware That There Is An Expectation That Writers Inevitably Falter At This Stage, That They Fail To Live Up To The Promise Of Their First Successful Book, That The Next Book Never Pleases The Way The Prior One Did. It Simply Increased My Sense Of Being Challenged.

I Have Relaxed Into My Persona As An Author, Although I Used To Fight That.

I Know You'll Think This Is Crazy, But All I Want To Do Is Hold You, And I Think That If You'll Let Me Do That Just For A Few Seconds, I Can Walk Away, And Never Speak To You Again.

The Best Advice On Writing I've Ever Received Is To Take It Seriously, Because To Do It Well Is All-consuming.

Fiction Is Socially Meaningful.
