Life is never all one thing. It bounces around. Certainly, my own life has.

I live in my head all day long and the world is a little dreamy.

What sticks to memory, often, are those odd little fragments that have no beginning and no end.

I did not set out to write another novel. One day I sat down with the thought of trying my hand at a piece of nonfiction, a personal memoir of youth, but over the next several weeks, without intending it, the work began evolving into what has become 'Tomcat in Love.

Writing doesn’t get easier with experience. The more you know, the harder it is to write.

Fiction, maybe art in general, is a tentative, uncertain enterprise; it's not science, it's an exploration, but you never find much in the way of answers.

It's very hard to articulate the things that are important about writing.
