Once I decided to write, to be published, I knew it would happen.

When you say, "I need more confidence," what you're really saying is, "I need those people over there to approve of me." That is the desire to control other people and what they think. The first person who figures out how to do this owns the world.

When I ate vanilla frosting straight from the can, I could feel God standing right nest to me like a real best friend, watching, and smiling, and wishing he had a mouth.

If you find you require willpower, you aren't ready to lose weight.

The thing for someone just starting off [in writing] is to write. You need to have limber fingers, whether you write with your fingers or you type on your laptop, but you need to have a limber mind and you need to be able to write without judging what you've written, at least right away, and without editing right away.

In some ways, blogging is like drinking - it gives a person permission to be a total asshole.

I was like a packet of powdered Sea Monkeys and they were like water.
