“Education in my family was not merely emphasized, it was our raison d'Ãªtre. Virtually all of our aunts and uncles had Ph.D.s in science or engineering, and it was taken for granted that the next generation of Chu's were to follow the family tradition. When the dust had settled, my two brothers and four cousins collected three MDs, four Ph.D.s and a law degree. I could manage only a single advanced degree.”

“Everyone tells you to write what you know. Itâ€™s the tried-and-true advice every writer hears at some point in her career. But to take my writing to a deeper level, Iâ€™ve found that a better practice is to simply write what frightens you, haunts you, even. I now keep a sign on the bulletin board in my office that reads: 'Write What Scares You.' Iâ€™ve learned that tapping into the hard stuff â€” whether itâ€™s the fear of loss or a boogeyman lurking in childhood memories â€” is what ultimately gives a story the power to leap off the page and grab you by the collar.”
“There is no such thing as a problem without a gift.”
