I never dreamed of publication and I never thought about success. Sometimes I wonder what it is doing to me as a person. I really value being good.

We got off to a better start than a lot of people thought we would, but it's going to be tough. Out of 12 games, our goal is to win six. It's going to come down to our last game and it always does.

It was my dream that I had clenched in a fist of discontent and wouldn't release. But time had now pried every finger open. There is peace in an open and upraised hand that isn't grasping for anything.
