To be well in your mind you have first to be free.

Sometimes we don't notice that someone is being brave, because they are only doing something that seems quite easy for us.

I like to push characters to extremes so they have to make really tough decisions and there is no life more extreme than that of an athlete.

They say that in the hour before an earthquake the clouds hang leaden in the sky, the winds slows to a hot breath, and the birds fall quiet in the trees of the town square. Yes but these are the same portents that precede lunchtime, frankly.

If your face is swollen from the severe beatings of life, smile and pretend to be a fat man.

Something I am now convinced of, after researching Everyone Brave, is that none of us is born courageous in all respects.

If I can't write it would be as if I died.
