document my moments

Have as Many Experiences as Possible
"I'm a big fan of telling young writers to take all the detours they possibly can, both in life and in writing. Those detours are going to lead you to where you need to be. If someone says, 'How would you like to spend two years working in the Czech Republic for the state department?,' you should do that. You can always get back to your novel. You need to have as many experiences as possible."
Stories come out of living
"Stories come out of living, and looking, and reacting, and observing and thinking. I can't explain what the source is. ... That's the experience of being alive and trying to render it coherent somehow."
The Universe Rewards Courage
"The universe always rewards courage. The more you move in the direction of what your gifts are, and what your life road is, the more people and events and experiences will conspire to give you what you need. Write."
