I have met women who don't have close women friends, and I've always been like, "How could that possibly be?"

You have those walls up all around you...Come a day you gonna want to tear them down brick by brick and gonna find that the cement is all hard. What you gonna do then?

I believe in one day and someday and this perfect moment called Now.

I pay a lot of attention to whitespace. I pay a lot of attention to the rhythm of words together.

I think it's important to remember that writing is a gift and our stories are gifts to ourselves and to the world and sometimes giving isn't always the easiest thing to do but it comes back.

Keep on doing what you're doing.

Everything I write, I read out loud. It has to sound a certain way. It has to look a certain way on the page.
