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

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

I figure guys are like Whitman's Samplers. I like to take a little bite out of each and then move on before the whole box gets stale.

I love being single. It's almost like being rich.

I only get writer's block about once a day.

It's disconcerting to realize how little you have to say to someone who once occupied such a prominent place in your bed.

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