Quote

I think I have sort of gravitated toward issues that I don't know the answers to, because that's what's more interesting for me to write.

Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life.

I like writing about big turning points, where professional and personal lives coalesce, where the boundaries are coming down, and you're faced with a set of choices which will change life forever.

Since I'm not a journalist, I talk about issues that encourage an interchange of ideas through conversation while also being entertaining.

I love discussing the ins and outs of the collaborative nature of writing.

I store away my experiences and don't feel really happy until I've found a way to write about them.

Most things I go through I have to write about.

I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.

I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.
