Sometimes Life Seems So Painful It Hurts

I Believe That To Create Real-seeming Characters, The Writer Must Be Willing To Go On A Voyage Of Self-exploration. It Can Be Revealing And Even Painful To Explore Your Own Weakness, But It Gives You Genuine Emotion. Characters In Fiction Come Alive Because Of The Believability Of Their Emotional Lives And That Is What I Strive To Create.

The Hardest Thing About Adolescence Is That Everything Seems Too Big. There's No Way To Get Context Or Perspective, ..... Pain And Joy Without Limits. No One Can Live Like That Forever, So Experience Finally Comes To Our Rescue. We Come To Know What We Can Endure, And Also That Nothing Endures.

Nothing Kinder Than Strangers. Nothing Stranger Than Kindness.

I'm A Grandmother, And A Mighty Proud One.
