I'm always struck with writing - I constantly feel like I don't know what I'm doing and I'm starting over.

I'm always wondering what is the job that gives the writer the most amount of time to write. I still don't know what the answer is as someone who has taught and is now working at a grocery store.

Lots of people hate gay people. You can tell who they are because they start sentences with, “It's not like I hate gay people.”

I feel very discouraged with the state of gay and lesbian publishing because I don't feel like we're really welcome in the mainstream and then you get ghettoized and put on some lesbian book club reading list where you don't want to be either.
