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

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.

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

I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.

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

Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
