I Take What People Feel And Think,

I Don't Let Negative Criticism, For The Most Part, Bother Me.

I Love Writing In First Person More Than Third. I Have To Basically Suspend My Own World. I Don't Exist. I'm Just A Conduit. So I Can Be Eight Years Old. I Can Be The Mother Of A Kid That You Find Out Certain Things I'm Not Going To Say.

There Is A Price For Popularity. Critics Look For Your Weaknesses, Your Flaws, Anything That Makes The Work Seem Like A Fluke And Not Seem Worthy Of All The Attention It's Getting.

Too Many Of Us Are Hung Up On What We Don't Have, Can't Have, Or Won't Ever Have. We Spend Too Much Energy Being Down, When We Could Use That Same Energy – If Not Less Of It – Doing, Or At Least Trying To Do, Some Of The Things We Really Want To Do.

It Should Be Obvious That I Wasn't No Honor Roll Student In High School. My Favorite Class Was Boys.
