You can’t move ahead until you bury the past.

My early reviews were so bad that I decided I didn't want to read them again.

Sometimes, I think one should only live in the present. The past is only a heavy burden to carry with you. And yet... it's so hard to let them go... to forget... to move ahead.

I work too hard and don't play enough.

It would be hard for me to overestimate the importance of reading. Nothing can expand the mind and heart like the magic al world of books. .... Our libraries are an essential resource for our children, our communities, and our future.

A bad review is like baking a cake with all the best ingredients and having someone sit on it.

I completed my first novel when I was 19 years old.
