I feel like I've been blessed. I see the world through stories.

Writing is seeing. It is paying attention.

If you have no intention of loving or being loved, the whole journey is pointless.

I am just always, always paying attention - waiting for the words, or image, or name that will be the beginning of a story.

I hate to cook and love to eat.

There ain't a body, be it mouse or man, that ain't made better by a little soup.

There is no right or wrong way to tell a story. You have to find your own way. You can get your idea from listening, looking, or imagining. Stories are everywhere. All you have to do is pay attention.
