If You Write A Story Based On

My Favorite Book Is Always The One I'm Working On At The Moment

If You Write A Story Based On A Real Person, You're Trapped By The Details Of The Real Person And His Life. It Gets In The Way Of Writing Your Own Story.

I Love Writing And Do Not Know Why It Is Considered Such A Difficult, Agonizing Profession. I Love All Of It, Thinking Up The Plots, Getting To Know The Kids In The Story, Their Parents, Backyards, Pizza Toppings.

I Wonder Why We Always Deny Love. I Remember In Middle School, If You Were Accused Of The Crime Of Loving, You Screamed Denials Constantly And Stopped Ever Even Looking At The Boy You Were Accused Of Liking. The Boys Could Destroy Each Other By Yodeling, "an-drew Lo-oves Jen-nie," And Both Andrew And Jennie Would Flinch And Blush. Love Is This Great Thing That Most Songs And Books And Poems And Lives Are All About. So The Minute We Actually Think There Might Be Love Around, We Start Laughing And Pretending And Hiding From It.

What More Can Life Hold, Than To Know That Because Of Your Story, Somebody Out There Has Decided To Read Again!
