I got a bunch of people together to talk about doing a lot and decided that I really want to throw my hand in and do as much as I can.

If you have a good idea, get it out there. For every idea I’ve realized, I have ten I sat on for a decade till someone else did it first. Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend

Passion... it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us... passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have?

I was raised by a hardcore feminist.

I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
