One thing that I don't ever want to do is write something I don't love.

If people start pulling away the stereotypes of what angels are instead of these fluffy, teddy-bear kinds of angels, then they'll see, historically, that they were terrifying in some depictions. In the Bible, from what I remember, often the reaction to angels is one of terror.

If there are too many cooks in the kitchen, the dish is not going to work out.

I taught myself to write in order to understand who I was and so yes, writing was an act of self-actualization in the beginning.

We create an image of happiness and success and then we are beholden to it. We tell ourselves stories and sometimes these stories become so strong as to imprison us. Breaking free from our personal fortresses is a long, hard journey, but ultimately what allows one to grow.

I understood that the stories we believe have power over us. They work into our bodies and minds and change us from inside out. What if one day these stories become something stronger, more real, than fairy tales?

Stories of a mythical angel paradise called an Angelopolis are like Peter Pan's Never Never Land.
