I actually don't think of whiteness and heterosexuality as 'the norm'. Maybe there are people who still do but none of them are close friends of mine.

I love slow readers. And readers who think about what I've written, think about how it's written - and copy me!

A lot of times, when people send me books to read - new writers mostly - I find that the book is still in a draft stage and that before it can leave the writer's hands and head to a publisher, it needs about five more revisions. Some people don't want to do that.

I think boys don't always like to read books with female protagonist - I don't even know what to say about this.

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

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

I loved and still love watching words flower into sentences and sentences blossom into stories.
