...if you can accept the truth and live with it your heart will be at peace.

There are never words for the strongest of our feelings. There is just the pain that we cannot share. Pain we must all feel alone.

What's crazy is living your life according to some book written by someone who couldn't imagine what your life would be like.

This moment and this chance, they are the same, and they are mine if I choose them,and I do. I want them. Now and as long as I can have them they are both precious and fleeting and gone in the blink of an eye, don't waste them. A moment and an opportunity and a life, all in the unseen tick of a clock holding me nowhere. My heart is beating. The walls are pale and quiet. I am surviving.

You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.

There is no such things as God's word on earth. Or if there is it is not to be found in books. -Then where is it to be found?- In love. In the laughter of children. In a gift given. In a life saved. In the quiet of morning. In the dead of night. In the sound of the ocean, or the sound of a car. It can be found in anything, anywhere. It is the fabric of our lives, our feelings, the people we live with, things we know to be real.

I'm writing books. They're still a mix of fact and fiction and will continue to be. I think it's an interesting place to work.
