We'll Have A 'rest Of Our Lives'

Jen, We Did It. Everyone's Free Now.

Unlike My Mother, My Father Does Not Cry Quietly. His Wails Roll Out Like A Wave Of Pain, And I Scramble To Roll Up My Window. My Mother Cannot Hear That. I Cannot Bear To Hear It Myself. I Am Not Used To My Father's Crying. I've Had No Time To Harden My Heart Against Him.

I Think I Learned A Lot From Reading In General - Even From Reading Badly Written Books.

I Loved To Read When I Was A Kid, And As Soon As I Realized That An Actual Person Got To Make Up The Books I Loved So Much, I Decided That That Was The Job For Me.

When Writing Isn't Going Well-then The Bad Thing About Being A Writer Is That I Also Have The Freedom And Flexibility To Do Something Badly, And No One Else Can Fix It For Me.
