“You are still young, free.. Do yourself a favor. Before it's too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.”

“Create diverse characters because you can. Especially ones that aren’t easy to write. A character that scares you is worth exploring.

Think hard about where your inspiration is coming from.”
