I usually work seven days a week and rarely take vacations, which is both lame and unsustainable. I don't mind the idea of writing seven days a week, I suppose. Getting some work done early in the morning. But ideally I would love to take one day a week off.

I have way too much going on, as usual, but fortunately it's all good stuff. I'm not complaining.

People love honesty. Honesty is medicinal, I think. It makes people feel less lonely in the world.

Once I get my writing done, then I can turn my attention elsewhere - and not the other way around. The writing has to be the foundation.

To do my job well, I have to be a good listener. The listening is so much more important than the talking.

David Cristofanos debut novel captures the essence of the human spirit, and delivers a story that is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking.

I feel like it's a good time to be a writer. I'm terminally optimistic. It seems like the publishing industry is in the middle of a big transition, and that the rules of the game are still sorting themselves out.
