“I write to believe in goodness.”

“Every word I write is like a drop of my blood. If it’s flowed passionately and long, I need time to recover from the emotion spent before I begin a new story. My characters are aspects of my life. I have to respectfully and carefully move between them.”

“Dance above the surface of the world. Let your thoughts lift you into creativity that is not hampered by opinion.”

“You don’t have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is.”
