“Writing is like talking without anyone to interrupt you.”

“The essence of writing? A hound chasing a fox: irrationally compelled to win the prize and eventual disappointment that it's eluded you.”

“The sound of thunder, the smell of rain. The earth giving birth to another season. Nature's labor pains...beautiful.”

“Time heals all wounds or Time wounds all heels. Take your pick... oh, life's small choices.”

“A life well-lived or a life lived well? The placement of words really does change the connotation.”

“Like nature, like life. The storm will pass. The night will end. Spring will come.”
