"There's a battle going on inside all of us, why not acknowledge that this battle is what defines us as humans and start writing about how it feels to be in this perpetual battle?"

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."
Not Realistic but Real
"Anyone who writes knows that the most complicated thing is the rendering of events and characters in such a way that they are not realistic but real. In order for this to happen it is necessary to believe in the story one is working on."
Be Authentically Yourself
"I wrote the kind of book I want to read. I was as authentically myself as I could be. That's tougher than some people would think."
