I Have These Huge Black Foam Boards

My Fiction Is Almost Always Inspired By A Character's Need Or Desire To Rise Above Him- Or Herself. No One Is Perfect And Some Of Us Have Much Adversity In Our Lives; It Is Those People Who Struggle To Rise Above Their Nature Or Background That I Find The Most Interesting And Heroic.

Efficiency And Focus Are The Keys To Success.

I Admire People Who Re-create Themselves. And It Seems To Me That What Gives Us All The Opportunity To Be Heroic In Our Own Lives Is That We Work To Heal Ourselves And Be Better Than We Were Yesterday.

I Had A Big Akita, Yoshi, Who Was Fabulous. I Loved Him. We Lost Him When He Was 12, And I've Never Been Able To Replace Him. Normally, Most People Lose A Pet And Get Another And Keep Going On. But It Just Felt Wrong To Me; It Felt Disloyal.

People Want You To Be Ordinary. They Don't Like It When People Are Different. They Don't Like It When A Man Soars Over Their Heads While They Stand In The Dirt. People Hate You When You're Special; It Reminds Them Of Everything That They Aren't.
