That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.

I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!

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

Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.

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.

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

I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.
