I'm So Trying To Give Up Meat.

Ironically, Writing A Novel Is Not A Way To Sort Out Your Confusion.

When I Was Writing My First Two Books I Was Also Freelancing And Teaching And Doing Other Odd Jobs.

And I Am Pretty Sure That's The Point Of Reading Fiction -- So Someone Else Can Say In A Way You Never Would Have Something You Recognize Immediately.

We All Make Mistakes, Don't We? But If You Can't Forgive Yourself, You'll Always Be An Exile In Your Own Life.

I Thought, If I Write A Book That Is Not A Retelling Of Pride And Prejudice, It's Not Going To Mean That I Will Not Get Any Criticism. I Might As Well Write The Book That I Want To Write.
