I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.

Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.

It started when she passed me a note in English class. The note said you don't seem as awful as I hear you are. I passed one back that read: beware I am as awful as people say and worse. She laughed and I had a friend. She didn't become my Ally and I didn't ask her to or want her to but she became my friend and that was more than anyone else was willing to do.

Live and let live, do not judge, take life as it comes and deal with it, everything will be okay.

The past doesn't matter. People cling to it because it allows them to ignore the present.

I listen to the tick of an unseen clock marking moments of time long passed.

We live in a world that's very fast, where we get bombarded with huge amounts of information very quickly, and I have tried to tailor my voice to the times, which I think, writers, over the course of history - many have always done.
