“[The] writer’s business is both to imagine the possible rescue of Piggy Sneed and to set fire that will trap him.” (“Trying to Save Piggy Sneed,” John Irving) It’s so true. The writer’s instinct is to set herself into trouble and then rescue herself in the most dramatic way. It’s her nature to seek out drama and extreme emotions, to experience something out of ordinary. At the end of the day, there are no bad persons on Earth except the scheme-loving writer herself. Illustrated by my life.
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”

“Don’t buy new books. Buy old books that have touched other people’s lives. With that energy, it will touch yours.”
