A dog pours a pitcher of love into the lonesome spots of your life.

Other writers definitely influence my writing. What encourages me and inspires me is when I read a good book. It makes me want to be a better writer.

When I was young, I was very shy and quiet, because we moved all the time. My dad was in the Navy, so we moved every two years.

I'm amazed how the tiniest moments grow into books.

Some people are just afraid of what's different. It doesn't mean different is bad. It just means different is different.

Write every day. Make writing a part of your life, but also dont be afraid of learning from others because I think you can. I still try to think of myself as a beginner because that way I can keep on learning.
