I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.

I just believe that young people need to be able to learn how to write in their own voice. Just like a musician, you pride yourself on having your own distinct sound.

I like to think of what happens to characters in good novels and stories as knots--things keep knotting up. And by the end of the story--readers see an unknotting of sorts. Not what you expect, not the easy answers you get on TV, not wash and wear philosophies, but a reproduction of believable, emotional experiences.

Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.

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

I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.

Folks want to glow, to leave their worries and dead skin behind.
