Making people believe the unbelievable

Write Dangerous

"Dangerous writing is not serial killers or speed-crazed race car drivers.  What makes writing dangerous is something much more personal. To write dangerous is something much more personal.  To write dangerous is to go to parts of ourselves that we know exist but try to ignore—parts that are sad, sore; parts that are silent, and heavy.  Taboo.  Things that won't leave us alone."

I will never truly master

"I keep writing fiction because it isn't easy, because it is the only discipline I care about that I will never truly master, no matter how long I work at it."

Writing That Really Matters

You Think You're Done

"The moment you think you're done, and the moment you think you've made it, you're finished.  The best motivator is to remember what it's like to have nothing at all - to keep yourself hungry."
