people figures needed
...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.
dream inspiration believe
Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?
falling-in-love mind fleeing
Moments are precious, sometimes they linger and other times they're fleeing, and yet so much could be done in them; you could change a mind, you could save a life and you could even fall in love.
dad appreciate want
I lost my dad. He lost his tomorrows and I lost all the tomorrows with him. You could say that now, I appreciate them when they come. Now, I want to make them the best they can possibly be.
good-times remember easy
It’s not easy remembering the good times.
running truth-is
You can run and run as fast and as far as you like, but the truth is, wherever you run, there you are.
running ordinary tools
Day-to-day things, the mundane, are what keeps the motor running. How extraordinary the ordinary really is, a tool we all use to keep going, a template for sanity.
privilege realizing i-dont-love-you
We don't realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone.
moving decision ease
More often than not, the easy decisions are the wrong decisions, and sometimes we feel like we're going backward when we're actually moving forward.
jobs college thinking
I never grew up thinking the goal in life was to be a millionaire. All the way through college, I had a part-time job. I worked hard to get the things that you need at that age.
writing people stories
I write human stories. I write about people. Not as a product of their environment. But from the stance that everybody is made of the same thing.
inspiration writing space
Decide where and when you want to write. I like space, and silence is an inspiration to me.
book want ends
I always want my books to reach a positive point in the end.
writing creative feelings
I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
