I need to remember to overcome.

Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.

I'm such a control freak. I want to control even my own death. Decide when I will die and how.

write with honesty and don't worry about the feelings of others, because no matter what you say, they'll hate you anyway.

As my Popo used to say, life is a tapestry we weave day by day with threads of different colors, some heavy and dark, others thin and bright, all the threads having their uses. The stupid things I did are already in the tapestry, indelible, but I’m not going to be weighed down by them till I die. What’s done is done; I have to look ahead.

I have a very acute sense of place and time, so all of my stories are rooted in a place and a time.

I don't read thrillers, romance or mystery, and I don't read self-help books because I don't believe in shortcuts and loopholes.
