I just know keeping track of what I'm doing and where I'm going is important to me.

I keep lists of names of people that I have met, a list of things to do day by day as well as a log of how my time is consumed throughout the day. It's a very important part of my personal discipline.

I write books to find out about things.

I carry a notebook and write down things to do, and I write out thoughts and stuff like that.

I love being in the archives, traveling, sitting in dusty places and looking at books with brittle pages. I love reading biographies and researching, to make myself informed about whatever political or historical time I'm writing about. From there, a lot of the emotional truths about my characters emerge.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.

I clean out my house weekly. I just keep a lot of silly little things that are meaningful to me.

Most of my time, energy and other resources I use to nurture my projects.
