Jane Goodall

Without the heart to ground it and open it to who we really can be as human beings, the brain is a very dangerous machine.

I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.
