I am a writer, which means I write stories, I write novels, and I would write poetry if I knew how to. I don't want to limit myself.

I long for, not a writer's retreat - I can write in any situation - but a reader's retreat.

I write what I see; I paint what I am.

I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.

I have great stories. I am going to write a book.

Why do I write? It's not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.
