Maybe this was our last summer as best friends. I feel like something's going to change now and I'm not going to be able to change it back. —Margaret

Keep on doing what you're doing.

For me as a writer, it was understanding that we're so far behind in our way of dealing with death. We put someone in the ground, we bury them or we burn them, and then we're supposed to just move on and kind of get over it.

There is so much work left to be done in the world and for me, I am hoping to make the change I can and do the work I need to do through this gift I've been given.

Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.

One place exists as their interpretation of it. For the people living and thriving inside of it, it's another place.

I rewrite my books until they're mostly memorized so that's a lot of rewrites, a lot of time spent with my stories.
