our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch

I have like two dreams a week that I have to write a paper that I'm late with or that I've gone back to high school and have to do that in addition to my current job.

[When I was a kid] I was a surgeon, amputating legs and arms of my paper dolls. And I had a little board with little tacks that I would tack them down to do this.

[With "Summer Sisters" the publisher] sent me on a big book tour. And it was the most wonderful professional experience of my life. I mean it was like Kleenex on every table wherever I was, friends patting friends on the back and they'd cry and I'd cry.

When I started to write, it was the '70s, and throughout that decade, we didn't have any problems with book challenges or censorship.

What's the point of thinking about how it's going to end when it's just the beginning?
