I Would Hate For People To Generalize

I Think It Is Important To Reach People Through Arts And Literature, Because Then You Establish A Connection That's Not An Instant Crisis.

The Best Moment In Writing Any Book Is When You Just Can't Wait To Get Back To The Writing, When You Can't Wait To Re-enter That Fictional Place, When Your Fictional Town Feels Even More Real Than The Town Where You Actually Live.

I Was Neither Doing These People Nor Myself A Favor By Showing Up When My Heart Wasn't In It. There Were Not Getting The Real Me, The Whole Me, The True Me.

I Think Novels Just Really Show Us The Deepest Parts Of People's Hearts, And You Cannot Walk Away Anymore And Say, "i Don't Know."

Especially Moments When Things Are Very Difficult And Complicated For Me And I Am Still Trying To Grasp What Is Happening And I Am Still Trying To Understand And To Reach Family Back Home.
