A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.

Some writers enjoy writing, I am told. Not me. I enjoy having written.

Sooner would be better than later, and now would be better than sooner." - Tyrion

My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.

I have a huge emotional attachment to characters I've created, especially the viewpoint characters.

Don't write outlines; I hate outlines.
