You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?

Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.

A shoe that fits one person pinches another.

I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.

Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.

People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.

Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.
