Samples of writing:
“Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl.”
“There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.”
“It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.”
“I often don’t say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you’d never guess from looking at me.”
“We weren’t ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves – surprise! – we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way.”
Advice:
“If you want to do something, do it-now.”
“I always tell people who want to be writers — and I think this goes for anything — is that you just have to do it. Preparing is only going to take you so far.”
“Lower your shoulders.”
“Don’t be afraid of criticism.”
