I write human stories. I write about people. Not as a product of their environment. But from the stance that everybody is made of the same thing.

I write about emotions - falling in and out of love, finding what you want to do, no matter where you are or who you are. I think that's why people feel connected.

I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.

Everybody is doing the same old thing.

The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.

Personality and socialization aren't the same thing.
