“I wish my brain had an off switch. Maybe that way I could get some sleep.”

“I am swimming in a sea of words, attempting to keep my head above water.”

“I'm not gonna lie...sometimes this whole writing thing is a lonely business.”

“I write because that is what I am supposed to do.”

“I know it's difficult in the beginning. But, listen. If you have the impulse to write, do yourself a favor, do the world a favor, and write.”

“If I had a nickel for all the times I've been shushed in my life? Bam! Instant millionaire!”

“The defining lines of reality have always been a bit blurred for me.”

“Sometimes I dream so vividly, so expectantly, I wonder if I'm crazy...”

“Give all that you can. No more. No less. Every. Single. Day.”

“This life is full of signs, many of which find their way to you exactly when you need them most.”

“Let life be the foundation. Be brave. Wander deep inside yourself to the little room no one knows about. Fling the door wide open and write.”

“Walking the Camino de Santiago taught me the wonders of physical challenge, the wonders of spiritual freedom, and the wonders of baby powder.”

“It's hard to be a dreamer sometimes. I'm tired.”

“That moment you realize you are doing the right thing for the wrong reasons and the wrong thing for the right reasons.”

“No.'It's not a bad word. And it is very important to use at times. Practice saying it in the mirror. It's empowering.”

“It's okay to fail. It does not make you forever a failure. In fact, there are no failures really. Only human beings doing the best they can.”

“When I am alone, I drink my tea with pinkie raised, like a kid playing "tea party." At times, a fancy British accent is involved. Dahling!”

“A writer writes. There are no exceptions to this reality. No excuses. Stop wasting time talking about your stories and get them on paper.”

“The night before a deadline, I usually am in desperate need of a back rub. And new wrists. And candy. And little mice to secretly finish the job while I am sleeping.”
