The people who know me say that they've always known I would be a writer.

I believe that the best stories are articulations of questions that have no definite answers.

There are many ways to tell a story. Technology enables us to mix genres and media.

Messages are best communicated when they connect to, form part of, or represent a story.

"When a man becomes a writer, I think he takes on a sacred obligation to produce beauty and enlightenment and comfort at top speed."
-Kurt Vonnegut
