It's great to see that many people interested. In school, a bunch of the writers (mentioned here) -- you don't hear as much about.

A lot of people try to stick it out through the holidays. They don?t want to disrupt the family at that time. It?s not unusual that come January you start to see a lot of filings.

I'm also looking forward to Pat Conroy and Tim O'Brien. They have been some of my favorite writers.

He was able to go into the school and feel very comfortable. But they didn't feel very comfortable with him.

My job as a writer is simple. Write a book I’m proud of, and present it as a gift to the world.
Some will love it.
Some will hate it.
That’s the nature of art.

She seems to think that I'm already doing what her graduate students are going to school for.
