If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.

I write because it's all I know how to do. Writing is my anchor and my purpose. My life is informed by writing, whether the work is going well or I'm stuck in the hell of writer's block, which I'm happy to report only occurs about once a day.

Writing isn't about the destination-writing is the journey that transforms the soul and gives meaning to all else.

I know there are people who believe you should forgive and forget. For the record, I'd like to say I'm a big fan of forgiveness as long as I'm given the opportunity to get even first.

If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.

Sometimes I claim I write because I put in an application at Sears and they've never called back.

In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.
