The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.

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

The beauty of word processing, God bless my word processor, is that it keeps the plotting very fluid. The prose becomes like a liquid that you can manipulate at will. In the old days, when I typed, every piece of typing paper was like cast in concrete.

Personally, I don't endorse the notion of mortality. It's fine for other folk, but I disapprove of the concept for me and my loved ones.

I write letters to my right brain all the time. They're just little notes. And right brain, who likes to get little notes from me, will often come through within a day or two.

Age plays cruel tricks on the human face; all our repressed feelings become visible on the surface, where they harden like a mask.

Sometimes being fooled by love is worth the price. At least you know you're alive and capable of feeling, even if all you end up with is chest pain.
