Train yourself to listen to that small voice that tells us what's important and what's not.

Dream big but think small.

Emotion doesn't travel in a straight line. Like water, our feelings trickle down through cracks and crevices, seeking out the little pockets of neediness and neglect, the hairline fractures in our character usually hidden from public view.

My job as the writer is to fool you. Your job as the reader is to see if you can catch me at it.

It is a truth of human nature that we can ponder life's mysteries for only so long before we lose interest and move on to something else.

Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn't mean there's a point.
