If you think about becoming a writer, that's just really one of the big dreams I had. It's really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.

You have to dream intentionally. Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.

Dreamers become writers, and for me, being a published writer is a dream come true.

My role as a novelist is to explore ideas and imagination, and hopefully that will inspire people from my world to continue dreaming and to believe in dreams.

I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.

I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn't feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn't know at all what this great thing would become.

The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.

Writing itself is a dream. There are days of self doubt and deadlines and wondering how you're going to pay the bills until you write that bestseller. But it's still the best job I've ever had. I've also been able to help a lot of people and even inspire a few and that feels great.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
