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

I've had people who see all my characters as Native, even if they aren't. It's kind of like assuming all a writer's characters are really female because the writer is a woman. I've learned to let that go.

I have carpal tunnel so I can't write more than four hours total without tingling numbness. I take a lot of breaks and do stretches.

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

I don't think anyone's normal.

My family is filled with wonderful storytellers. I lack their gift of gab, so it's a relief to be able to write.

I don't know if I have a book in me, but I'm sure I have more essays.
