You throw a person in the river and then make a spectacle of jumping in to save them.

I am the person who is appropriating stories that are not mine and turning them into a book.

It was never the right time or it was always the right time, depending on how you looked at it.

You are the same person in every aspect of your life, and you have to be a responsible person in every aspect of your life.

The idea I pursue is the one that keeps coming back to me. The characters I think about as I'm falling asleep at night or when I'm driving to the grocery store are the one's I wind up writing about.

The secret is to keep adding voices, adding ideas, and moving things around as you put together your life. If you’re lucky, putting together your life is a process that will last through every single day you’re alive.

I made a startling discovery. Time spent writing = output of work. Amazing.
