What I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of the darkness inside me.

I was enjoying myself writing, because I don't know what's going to happen when I take a ride around that corner. You don't know at all what you're going to find there. That can be thrilling when you read a book, especially when you're a kid and you're reading stories.

Spend your money on the things money can buy. Spend your time on the things money can’t buy.

Time passes slowly. Nobody says a word, everyone lost in quiet reading. One person sits at a desk jotting down notes, but the rest are sitting there silently, not moving, totally absorbed. Just like me.

I may be the type who manages to grab all the pointless things in life but lets the really important things slip away.

I always write my novels with music (I don't listened to the music seriously.) Music seems to encourage me.
