Writing was not a childhood dream of mine. I do not recall longing to write as a student. I wasn't sure how to start.

I don't usually eat breakfast. I prefer to be asleep during the hours that it is served.

I remember Stephen King did a fundraiser one time with J.K. Rowling and he was very impressed with her. But we talk a lot about publishing, bookselling, and book writing. He's been around for ten years longer than me and was a bestseller right off the bat. And he's seen and done everything. It's rare to be with somebody who has been through all of that.

In little pockets of conversation, old men were telling stories of ancient floods. Women were talking of about how much rain there'd been in other towns -- Paragould, Lepanto, and Manila.

Privileged people don't march and protest; their world is safe and clean and governed by laws designed to keep them happy.

I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.

I am currently reading, "The Broker" by John Grisham. it is alittle slow to start so I will have to let you know if it gets better
