This is one of those times when explaining a feeling cannot measure up to actually having the feeling

I loved to read, still do, and it seemed that the writing was a result of the love of books and reading and libraries.

Having a purpose is the little secret of the nonpretties. Something to do always beats something to look at.

People have often told me that one of their strongest childhood memories is the scent of their grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmothers, but I could always count of the Bookmobile.

Sometimes we get our hearts broken, only to have the right person come along to mend them.

When people are filled to the brim with love, they are their most beautiful.

I began as a dramatist in the theater, so I'm always thinking about how a story moves, what it looks like, how to engage the senses, how dialogue sounds, what feels authentic and sounds real, what's funny, how to build distinctive and original characters - all the aspects of playwriting, scene-building, the architecture of dramatizing.
