Fate changes when you change your clothes.

In [writing] fiction, every sentence is its own reward.

I discovered that maybe it was fate all along, that faith was just an illusion that somehow you're in control.

You should think about your character. Know where you are changing, how you will be changed, what cannot be changed back again.

When you already believe something, how can you suddenly stop? When you are a loyal friend, how can you no longer be one?

I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength..."strongest wind cannot be seen."

No one in my family was a reader of literary fiction. So, I didn't have encouragement, but I didn't have discouragement, because I don't think anybody knew what that meant.
