Why Did The Wise Guys Always Accuse

I Take Real People And Put Them In Extraordinary Situations.

A Man I Know Who Writes And Aspires To Be A Novelist Does Very Little Reading, And He's Not That Successful. But I Think It's Because He's Like The Kid Who Wants To Be A Ballplayer And Never Goes To The Ballpark Or Tries To Hit A Ball. So I'd Say Reading Is The Most Important Thing That I Do, Besides The Actual Writing. I'm Always Asking As I Read, "how Did The Writer Do This? Why Do I Suddenly Have Tears In My Eyes? Why Am I Crying?"

There Are No Taboos. Every Topic Is Open, However Shocking. It Is The Way That The Topics Are Handled That's Important, And That Applies Whether It Is A 15-year-old Who Is Reading Your Book Or Someone Who Is 55.

It's Amazing That The Heart Makes No Noise When It Cracks.

Cities Fell. Earth Opened. Planets Tilted. Stars Plummeted. And The Awful Silence.
