There's me in every character I put on the pages.

Lately, I'd been feeling like I was standing outside watching everything and everybody. Wishing I could take the part of me that was over there and the part of me that was over here and push them together—make myself into one whole person like everybody else.

I think I'd rather have my heart broke than do the breaking. —Lena

Seems like every time life starts straightening itself out, something's gotta go and happen.

I think people need to remember that a book isn't done after a few rewrites and a publisher isn't going to buy an 'undone' book so the hard part is making it a book that at least ten other people want to pay for to read.

Keep on doing what you're doing.
