expectations disappointed
I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than fatally disappointed.
choices knows
Now is almost always the better choice. You never know about later.
years play long
Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. Months on end may pass blindingly in a quick series of chords, open-shut, together-apart; and then a single melancholy week may seem like a year's pining, one long unfolding note.
dog people poodles
When most of us talk to our dogs, we tend to forget that they're not people.
crazy writing world
I see life as increasingly complex, vivid, colorful, crazy, chaotic. That's the world I write about...the world I live in.
mind matter
Mind who you love. For that matter, mind how you are loved.
thinking knowing
Never talk yourself out of knowing you're in love or into thinking that you are.
dog training fans
And then there's the personal question so many of Lassie's fans want to ask: Is he allowed on the furniture? Of course he is-but, then, he's the one who paid for it.
yarn facts ends
When it comes to life, we spin our own yarn, and where we end up is really, in fact, where we always intended to be.
good mind surrender truths waste whether wondering
When I give myself over to a good novel, I surrender to the truths fashioned from one writer's heart, mind and soul. I do not waste a nanosecond wondering whether what I'm reading 'really happened.'
Virginia Woolf was wrong. You do not need a room of your own to write.
Sometimes the writing leads to the revelations, not the other way around.
