Then I realized I was also telling the story of white collar crime and how it is more destructive than street crime. In the end, I saw that the core of the story went even deeper and was far more terrible.

I write non-fiction, so what I do is 1: spend some time thinking about what are the most interesting things in the world to me at present, 2: pick one, 3: write a proposal that hopefully conveys what is so interesting about the subject I selected, and if all goes well, 4: write a book about it.

The pleasure of spending a couple of years immersed in a subject you were dying to learn about can't be exaggerated.

The bad part: when you are in-between books and there is no guarantee that you will get to write another. (Where I am now!)(less)

Quotes by Stacy Horn  (?)

“I tried to catch the eye of everyone around me who wasn’t a soprano I. I get it. First sopranos don’t feel this. You hear it, but you don’t feel it. You don’t know that those lowly peasants making a nice vocal cushion for you to step on had parts that were every bit as rapturous as yours”
Stacy Horn, Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others

“Music will enable you to see past facts to the very essence of things in a way which science cannot do. The arts are the means by which we can look through the magic casements and see what lies beyond.”
Stacy Horn, Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others

“Einstein’s ‘spooky interactions.’” Einstein had famously described quantum entanglement as “spooky action at a distance.”
Stacy Horn, Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory

Howard Well, whether it did or not, I couldn't stand the idea of people saying it did and saying "SEE!"

Stacy Ha! (What would you put? I'd put December 27, 2060. Or do you think this would work like a jinx?)


Howard Creepy, but I was sort of tempted to fill it out.
