The truth is in the present moment.

We are tyrannized by our options.

It's essential to have sacred time for writing. All successful authors have some daily commitment to keep on-track and moving forward.

You have to believe in yourself before the world has given you any indication that you should believe in yourself as a writer.

I often envy my friends who are visual artists. Visual artists have other things to work with. Other media. I envy my sculptor friends: they have hunks of matter. Marble. Wood. It's physical, which I find very appealing. What we have is nothing, is just glaringly blank.

We're all simultaneously separated and connected by our devices, staring into our little screens, and also hungry for experience and community.

Open your hearts. Deep inside ourselves, we are all one and the same.
