[Writing] totally changed my life. It gave me my life. Everything opened up.

I kept a diary as a teenager but I never would have shared it with anyone. Still, I think it's very good practice to write things down.

Snoring keeps the monsters away.

Isn't that interesting. All the book clubs. I've never belonged to one.

I love movies, and theater, and kayaking, reading, biking, walking - oh, and dancing. I love to dance!

The child from 9 to 12 interests me very much. And so, those were the years that I like to write about, when I'm writing.

I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.
