We're so structured and micromanaged, this isn't a world anymore, it's a damn cruise ship.

I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.

I have an experience with as many of my readers as possible that's really genuine. I love it when they write to me, and I'm able to send them things. I love meeting them in person, and even if it's only for a moment I love having that physical, touching interaction.

Yes, these are bruises from fighting and I'm okay with that.

There will always be an underground.

I can become someone else, not out of pressure and desperation, but merely because a new life sounds fun or interesting or joyful.

Let's all embrace someone near us. Pick someone special to you. Tell this someone how you feel.
