Quote

Staying true to my vision, to the word as it comes to me, to my own aesthetic judgments, even when they disagree with the majority culture, is very important to me, and I think important for every artist. It's what we have: our voice, our intuition, the truth as we understand and know it.

Every book I've written has been different from the others, and each one seems to have its own timeline, requirements, and formal challenges.
