Quotes

  • When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer. . . . Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience . . . It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.
