Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.

Writing is the only place I can be myself and not feel judged.

I want to push the fast-forward button until I get back to happy.

Writing is my shelter. I don't hide behind the words; I use them to dig inside my heart to find the truth.

Parents can ruin children, and sometimes that's a learned behavior. Sometimes you can't blame your parents for it, sometimes you can. I think to me, that's what the whole paradox is, is people that have children that don't even know how to raise them.

We never thought some guy would deliberately fill our hearts with brown sugar and then pour hot water all over it.

Write from your heart, and God will take care of the rest.
