“The daily writing practice is something I used to hear batted around a lot in writing workshops - which is probably why I dropped out of all the writing workshops. I wish I could take credit for innovating a new approach to writing, but the truth is that I've managed to write books despite myself.

There's something very simple and beautiful about growing up in a small place. That's where my heart is, for real.”
