Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.

I'd love to think that people in the future would gather in theatres, at conventions, and in darkened rooms, and read it out to each other.

When I was young, I was reading anything and anything I could lay my hands on. I was a veracious-to-the-point-of-insane reader.
