When I have writer's block, I take my dog for a long walk, quiet my mind, and let my characters speak to me. It's a form of meditation, I guess, but instead of forcing myself to write, I give myself permission to NOT write and listen. It rarely lets me down.(less)

I get to create my characters, know them intimately and lovingly, and then hold my breath as I release them into the world. This act of creation is so fulfilling.(less)

I don’t uniformly round up my stars, but in Coast Road, I am compelled, by a turn of phrase, or the fate of a character, or a bit of both. The story came toward me as it held itself back. I often felt there was a subtext underneat" Read more of this review »

“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”

Octavia E. Butler
“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
