I'll have an awesome blossom, EXTRA awesome.

In my experience, we only ever regret the things we have not done.

I wanted to be a librarian from a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are being taken to the local library. I ended up working as a bookseller. Becoming a writer was the logical offshoot of being a reader.

Middle school's amazing. It is extraordinary. An extraordinary time.

When you've lived as long as I have, nothing much surprises you.

The secret to writing is writing. Lots of people I know talk about writing. They will tell me about the book they are going to write, or are thinking about writing, or may write some day in the future. And I know they will never do it. If someone is serious about writing, then they will sit down every day and put some words down on paper.

First up, the lost and found has gone missing. It itself, is lost. So please try not to lose anything until we find it.
