And die of nothing but a rage to live.
At ev'ry word a reputation dies.
Certainties are arrived at only on foot.
Fiction isn't memoir and memoir isn't fiction.

Elephants and grandchildren never forget.
The only pain in pleasure is the pleasure of the pain.

I wanted to be a novelist for so long.
I'm always more attracted to the unattractive.
I'm a big Letterman fan.

His huff arrived and he departed in it.
I don't generally read reviews.
Everyone needs help from everyone.
Right is its own defense.
I'm living what I always wanted to do.
I come Des Moines. Somebody had to.
Writing is a solitary occupation.
