Why do we read? What is the purpose of stories?
I guess all authors harbor self-doubt, but I've made an art form of doubting myself! This review gave me a very special and unique kind of reassurance. The review suggests that maybe my ideals and philosophies are worth sharing, and my writing has much more than just en Read more of this blog post »

“Words... They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good any more... I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect.

which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”
