I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.
Being a writer requires an intoxication with language.
You touch things lightly or deeply; you move along because life herself moves, and you can’t stop it.
Death steals everything except our stories.
Your kids inevitably want to move where they had their vacations when they were younger.
Barring love I'll take my life in large doses alone--rivers, forests, fish, grouse, mountains. Dogs.
