Life is a racket. Writing is a racket. Sincerity is a racket. Everything's a racket.
I wish I had more time to write.
I don't remember a time when I didn't define myself as a writer.
At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet.

I'm personally a nonbeliever, so I'm struggling with if we really need religion.
If it wasn't for music, I would think that love is mortal.
I love books about treks and journeys into the unknown.
I love the most the students with troubled lives.

I think Shakespeare is everybody's treasure.
No one ever does the last thing on their list.
I am an optimist about America.
I know how to write fiction well.
I don't really revise. I tend to rewrite.
If you banish the dragons, you banish the heroes...
