I'm pretty disciplined to keep the momentum of a story going by writing everyday, even if it's only a couple paragraphs or a page or two.

My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.

I work very hard at each story, at every sentence.

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

As a writer, I absorb stories, allow them to churn within my own head and heart - often for years - until I find a way of telling them that fits both my time and temperament.

I feel like I have been able to rewrite my story to some extent. But I feel like there is a lot of work to be done.

My stories run up and bite me on the leg - I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.

I write and draw from the gut. I often don't know what my stories are about until they're done.

In many ways, I've been writing personal stories all my life.

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.
