I remember visits to the local libraries and getting my own library cards as things of rite-of-passage significance.

Good authors mature over time: it does take awhile. Travel abroad and learn to live in other cultures. That's one of the things about teaching abroad.

There's a lot of young authors out there, and people do seem to forget: in order to write well, you do need to have some experience.

I always had this non-stop drive. I had to keep sending stories out and every once in awhile I'd get something accepted or get the little trickle of positive feedback.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
