I think we all have the capacity of evil in us.

I know nothing more annoying when people I don't know jump to conclusions on my person based on nothing but gossip or speculation.

A really good day for me is to write my book for about four hours, go to the writing room for about four hours and then maybe come back to the book to finish the day for a few more hours of it.
