I wish I could write while I'm on the road but it never works for me. I need to be sitting still.

In the wintertime I like macaroni and cheese.

I wish I had the luxury of time to read and write like grad students do. That sounds pretty awesome. When I was writing my first book one of my friends was going to grad school at the same time and I heard a lot of stories about drinking, too. I feel like everyone was having affairs.

We are human beings, not ants.

I'd love to be able to write crazy epic plots. I'm working on it.

And we all get mired in the bullshit, the personality quirks, the personality disorders (ours and everyone else's), the jealousy, the disappointment, the blocks, the financial struggle, our egos, I do it too, I do it too, but if you can't remember it is all about the work and nothing else then I can't help you and you can't help yourself and you will lose. I promise you. You will lose.

The fascinating thing about food is that if you have issues with it, you have to face it every single day.
