Pay Attention To The Things That Agitate

I Just Believe That Young People Need To Be Able To Learn How To Write In Their Own Voice. Just Like A Musician, You Pride Yourself On Having Your Own Distinct Sound.

Don't Worry About How Pretty (the Story) Sounds, How Lilting It Is, And The Imagery, And The Metaphor, All That. Most Readers Don't Care. It's The People In Your Book That Matter.

I'm Not Trying To Be A Middle Aged Centerfold, I Just Want To Look At Myself Naked And Not Be Disgusted.

I'm More Interested In Interpersonal Relationships - Between Lovers Families, Siblings. That's Why I Write About How We Treat Each Other.

Writing Is The Only Place I Can Be Myself And Not Feel Judged.
