I write between interruptions. I’m a drop of water suspended among grains of soil and humus. I write because the nature of the world dictates that we all are, of necessity, coerced to do what the inner child in us does not want to do.

I have very clear memories of curling myself hard into a corner of our orange living room couch and putting my nose in a book after school. I’m not writing for kids now, but I have always been deeply aware of the power of storytelling, so I’m motivated by that.

Sometimes I’d say I was writing something for the record. Some historian would find it one day and be able to quote it as indicative of the times, the atmosphere, the culture. I still believe in that function.
