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 think you'd best make your peace with the past since you've come this far. I think you know by now that you won't go back again.

Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.

Life was reduced to its four basic elements: air, food, drink, and a good friend.

I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since.

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.

There are days when none of us can bear it, but the good comes around again. Happiness is seasonal, like anything else. Wait it out. There are people who love you. People who can help.
