People think it's terribly sad to spend Christmas alone, but it's no sadder, really, than spending any other day alone, is it?

Having something commissioned made it easier for me to share my work and see it out there and have people read it without feeling like there was a piece of my soul on the page.

One of the lovely things about writing when nobody knows who you are is there's no expectation.

I used to have nightmares when I was a little kid that I woke up prematurely and opened all the Christmas presents. And then I would be so relieved when I woke up and I realized that I hadn't done it.

A good romantic comedy is my favorite movie to watch.
