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

We have good people. We have selfless people. We have great leaders.

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

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 was born on the same day as Edgar Allan Poe and Dolly Parton: January 19. I am absolutely certain that this affects my writing in some way.

I usually tame my off-kilter sense of humor for novels.
