The world went on, as it does, without my full participation, and I only woke up from the reverie when someone said my name.

Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does.

That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.
wicked doe gods-will
God will punish the wicked. And before He does, we will.
fighting broken doe
The world is broken, and all our attempts to fix it will inevitably fail, and some day all life will be extinguished from the planet and there will be no one to remember that any of us ever did anything. But this fact, strangely, does not delegitimize hope, because every now and again we find evidence that hope is helpful. This evidence, in my opinion, should be celebrated-even as we lament and fight the devastation.

changed figuring happened lives people reasons seat teens
I'm a very introverted person. Nothing that's happened has changed that, but one of the reasons I write for teens is it's a real privilege to have a seat at the table in the lives of young people when they're figuring out what matters to them.
basement book finished four moment people responding sitting spend start waiting work year
When you're writing a novel, you spend four years sitting in your basement and a year waiting for the book to come out and then you get the feedback. When you do work online, the moment you're finished making it, people start responding to it which is really fun and allows for a kind of community development you just can't have in novels.
