I think of myself as a very lazy author.

It's not the fish you catch, it's the peace of mind you take home at the end of the day.

Virginia is the place, where, technologically speaking, they will burn people at the stake for possessing such things as toasters.

It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. I wanted to keep you perfectly safe...But there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer.

Going off the grid is always good for me. It's the way that I've started books and finished books and gotten myself out of deadline dooms and things.
