There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana

Every time my brain parks the car neatly in the driveway, my mouth drives through the back of the garage.

I see colors like you hear jet planes.

Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

Having lost people when they were young, you feel intimately acquainted with mortality, I guess. Though I procrastinate worse than anybody.

To me any given story has its appropriate form. There might be some story I get involved with that's begging to be a graphic novel, so that will have to be that way.

Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity.
