The really important thing to be was yourself$$$ just as hard as you could.

We have teeth and we have tails<br/>We have tails we have eyes<br/>We were here before you fell<br/>We will be here when you rise.

I still love the book-ness of books$$$ the smell of books: I am a book fetishist -- books to me are the coolest and sexiest and most wonderful things there are.

You shine like a beacon in a dark world.

Some things may change$$$ said Wednesday$$$ abruptly. "People$$$ however... People stay the same."

Writer advice... Write. Finish things. Go for walks. Read a lot & outside your comfort zone. Stay interested. Daydream. Write.

If you have something specific and visible to fear$$$ rather than something that could be anything$$$ it is easier.

Writing's a lot like cooking. Sometimes the cake won't rise$$$ no matter what you do$$$ and every now and again the cake tastes better than you ever could have dreamed it would.

On the whole$$$ stories don't write themselves.

Some of us claim that he was a messiah$$$ and some think that he was just a man with very special powers. But that misses the point. Whatever he was$$$ he changed the world.
