Advocacy is a challenge
"Advocacy is a challenge because it is—not because it might pervert writing, any more than love or sex or hope might pervert writing."
It's Nobody's Business
"I ended up answering [my readers], and with pleasure. But it was a mistake. Because really it's nobody's business what you believe. The book stands on its own."
Saying Something
"Most authors are [saying something big with their books]. Not all of them. But most. And I'd encourage you to be one of the ones who is."
