I could write and help a lot of kids, or teach and help a few and go nuts.
From S. E. Hinton
Sometimes, I feel like I spent the first part of my life wishing to be a teen-age boy, and the second part condemned to being one.
Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight.
I have no idea why I write. The old standards are: I like to express my feelings, stretch my imagination, earn money.
I go straight from thinking about my narrator to being him.
