Quote

Writing is a way of getting at the things most people would prefer to escape. Writing takes me to the center of life. That's my invitation to my readers as well.

Writing is incredibly important to me as a way of handling the world, understanding how it works.

Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood.

Writing is a creative process, and you need to have the doors and windows of your mind open so that you have the possibility of change.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.

I write because writing is the gift God has given me to help people in the world.

Writing is like a rollercoaster ride for me, an adventure. I love exploring the world through 'playing' people who are absolutely nothing like me.

I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.

Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, writing takes me to another world.
