Brainstorming, for me, takes place in my bed at night between the time I turn out my lights and I finally fall asleep. It is not a very violent storm, but what's happening is I am just thinking about different ideas and maybe things I've seen that day that I think might make a good story.

I'd like to be able to use Storm's powers for good, like have it rain more in Southern California. We could do with it.

'The Storms We Share' has been a project that I've been working on for so long.

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

I'm not in power, but my ideas are in power. And my ideas will prevail.

When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense.

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.

I'm attempting to broaden my novels' scope through landscape and weather, leaves falling off trees, overnight storms, timeless elements which, irrespective of human endeavour, have always been there and, as long as there is life and snow, will always be there.

I go where the sound of thunder is.

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
