I have irrational fears, and they all go back to losing my father as a kid. I've never gotten over it.

I'm a promoter of the people for the people and by the people and my magic lies in my people ties.

When I'm writing, I am concentrating almost wholly on concrete detail: the color a room is painted, the way a drop of water rolls off a wet leaf after a rain.
