| I've been waiting 25 years for this: a memoir by one of my all-time favorite writers, Susan Orlean. I read The Orchid Thief when it came out and thought, "I want to do that." I was a baby writer and Orlean was my role model. Joyride instilled that de ...more | |

“Stories weren't just make believe, all Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose. I saw a circle: first life, then death. Spring, summer, fall, winter.

Things most precious to you may be gone, lost to the wicked wind, but you remember what had been, and you move on.”

“Maybe you’ve made something mediocre—there’s plenty of that in any artist’s cabinets—but something mediocre is better than nothing, and often the near-misses, as I call them, are the beckoning hands that bring you to perfection just around the blind corner.”
