The water is DEEP AND DARK AND DANGEROUS

I think it's dead bodies that really haunt me.

Editors always want to know what you're working on, what you're thinking about.

I think Stephen King must be the most terrified person in the universe.

They always talk about teenagers thinking their lives will never end. I expected my life to end at any minute, every day.

I wished that the chains would break and the wind would sweep me up, up, up into the sky, beyond the clouds, beyond the sun and the moon, to some marvelous kingdom where no one ever changed and friends were friends for life.

I think more people now have relationships with agents than with editors. And I don't have an agent.
