Trying hard and being a good person didn't always mean good things would happen to you. But it did mean that others might try on your behalf.

One of the things I like to do during an 'overhaul' revision is bust out my highlighters and colored pens. Tools like these make me feel like a real writer.

I'm not a good person to have as an enemy; say nice things about me.

I'm a good mother. I'm a good person.

Love teaches a good person to do bad and a bad person to do good.

I found the right man, got married, and just had to keep not reinventing myself, just deciding that it doesn't matter what you are if you are a good person.
