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

I also discovered that you can get used to a man , much like you do a household pet!

I take what people feel and think, especially when it's different from, very seriously, and I find it liberating.

I used to get a lot of letters from prisoners. It used to get on my nerves. Especially family members. Everybody's innocent.

Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)

We get divorce, we get conned, someone we love dies, or we can't find anybody to love us or somebody breaks our heart and we realize this fairy tale ain't fair. So we suffer.

Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.
