Writers aren't born properly labeled so it is hard to know one when one appears.

I'm about to start something new. I'm waiting to be whelmed. The whelming as you start something new is quite something.

My work is to know the characters intimately and to tell their story.

I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.

I've never thought there was anything I could hope to get by praying for it.

I prefer a cluttered workspace.

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.
