“There's something delicious about writing those first few words of a story. You can never quite tell where they will take you. Mine took me here, where I belong.”

“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you.”

“The burden of intelligence: you can always imagine all those wonderful places where you can never belong.”

“I always tell myself, 'you can write anything, but first you have to write something'.”

“I took three steps and was wrapped in his arms, where I belonged. No confusion here. No worries here. No troubles here.”

“The tension is here, between who you are & who you could be, between how it is & how it should be. I dare you to move. I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor. I dare you to move - like today never happened. Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here.”
