abundance acceptance american-author awareness inner open peace ready receive simple surely waiting whatever
Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.
I'm growing as an artist and expanding my range, and not pigeonholing myself by doing the same thing, over and over.
characters classic eating escape food good hiding main might people relationships sugar three
I'm a classic stress-eater, so I know a lot about how eating can become a way of hiding from what's really wrong. I escape into food. But some people escape into books. Some into relationships that might not be good for them. The three main characters in 'The Sugar Queen' struggle with each of these comforts-turned-crutches.
characters enter
I think my characters are more wish fulfillments than they are mirrors. They see things I don't and live in a world I can only enter through words.
dad love stopped
I love that my dad has stopped asking me when I'm going to get a real job.

cancer forget good horrible nonstop point reached worry
Cancer is too real, and too awful, and I can't make it good or magical. I couldn't even read a book where a character had cancer, for a while... But now I've reached a point where I don't think about cancer nonstop anymore, and sometimes I worry about that - I'm going to forget what I went through; I'm going to forget how horrible it was.
daydream feels garbage hymn intrinsic natural pursue ride
There's an old hymn called 'How Can I Keep from Singing?' That's what writing feels like to me. I have to write. It's intrinsic to who I am. So it was a natural choice for me to try to pursue writing as a career. Truthfully, though, I still daydream about how fun it would be to ride on the back of a garbage truck.
