Certainly not every reader has liked every one of my books, but I think that's a good thing because it means I'm not repeating myself.
I do some compassionate mindfulness every day. It's like a Buddhist thing. I tell myself that I'm doing a good job, that kind of thing. It makes me feel better.

And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.
I took 'P.S. I Love You' thinking it was going to be a little funny, and I ended up crying every day on that film.
