A writer's job is to give the reader a larger vision of the world.

There is that smaller world which is the stage, and that larger stage which is the world.

Our job as writers is to listen, to come home to the four corners of the earth.

When you are present, the world is truly alive.

Women need space and silence. We too quickly give away our energy. There's something about holding that richness.

There's no such thing as a writer's block. If you're having trouble writing, well, pick up the pen and write. No matter what, keep that hand moving. Writing is really a physical activity.
