I find myself moved by social justice issues. I'm not sure where that will lead me. I'm willing to nurture it.

If I gave up writing, I'd have to find an equally obsessive way to fill my time. Yarn-bombing skyscrapers or making houses out of empty soda bottles.

I don't see the point of pretending we're clones.

I think we learn slowly as a group, but we learn. The ozone layer is still there.

I think the best advice I got was to not worry about what other people would think while you were working on your first draft. Focus on getting it out of your head. You can always edit the manuscript later.

I think we're in a 1970s-level moment of social transition and they're always full of upheaval. As violent and deranged as we can be to each other and to other species, we've got nothing on tsunamis, hurricanes or tornadoes.

I do get flak for the lack of romance in my stories.
