I Can't Write The Book I Want

Fiction Is Always Really A Labor.

It Is Said The Sesta Is One Of The Only Gifts The Europeans Brought To South America, But I Imagine The Brazilians Could Have Figured Out How To Sleep In The Afternoon Without Having To Endure Centuries Of Murder And Enslavement.

I Don't Want To Stand With Somebody's Praise. Whereas Now When People Come Up To Me, They Say, "i Love The Bookstore" And "kids! Come Here, Come Here! This Is The Woman Who Owns The Bookstore." That's Incredible. I Can Say To That, "thank You For Shopping Local. Thank You For Coming In. What Are You Reading? Let's Talk About Books." It's About Something I'm Doing As Opposed To Somehow Something I Am. I Feel Comfortable And Positive In That Role. Because It's About Reading. It's About Books. It's About Learning. It's About Business And Tax Base.

If A Person Has Never Given Writing A Try, They Assume That A Brilliant Idea Is Hard To Come By. But Really, Even If It Takes Some Digging, Ideas Are Out There. Just Open Your Eyes And Look At The World. Writing The Ideas Down, It Turns Out, Is The Real Trick.

I Know That There Are People Out There Who Believe We Should Get Rid Of All Guns.
