As A Writer, I Absorb Stories, Allow

If You Know You Don't Have A Win, Then There's No Use For You Being In The Game.

Think About All The Tomorrows Of Your Life.

With My Writing, What I Want To Do Is Humanize The Young People I Write About.

And What I Was Feeling Was The Wonder Of Being More Than Me, Of Being More Than Mere Here And Now Allowed I Had Become A Shining Star, A Burning Nova Exploded With Love Flying Through An Endlessly Expanding Universe Away From The Me That Was Toward A Me That Is Beyond Understanding.

People Told Me To Give Up Trying To Be Special And Settle Down To A Regular Life. There Ain't Nothing Wrong With A Regular Life, And That's The Lord's Truth...but It Wasn't For Me, Because I Wanted To Be Something Special. I Knew How Easy It Was For A Dream To Die. I Seen That All Around Me. You Could Let It Die By Just Looking The Other Way.
