Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

I believe that I have such a vanilla life.

I still believe in the Holy Trinity, except now it's Target, Trader Joe's, and IKEA.

I'm the person who says every single thing she thinks, sometimes to others' amusement, and almost always to my detriment.

No matter how happy anyone is with their choices, I believe it's human nature to wonder about the path not taken.

As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative.

In real life, I tend to yell at people a lot. Not because I'm bossy or mean, but because I'm frustrated.

I don't mean to get all religious here, but I'm pretty sure key lime martinis (with a graham cracker & sugar rim) are proof that Jesus loves us.

Ambien might have mentally just tossed my salad. WITH CROUTONS.

Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

Fear trumps empathy.

My son is wonderful. He is amazing.

... I felt like a new man; but I was disappointed with the photographic documentation because I still saw always the old self.

If you're going to win the Premier League, you're going to have to finish ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City.

You try to figure out things to keep yourself interested. It's very easy to get lulled.

I love hearing my music, I love hearing it by other people. I hope it will always be played.

I collect Victorian automata and coming across them in the dark does give you a little shudder.

You have to make a decision. You have to believe. Once you start doubting, you change your brain chemistry and you're done.
