Favorite Quote:
All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you\\\'re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you\\\'re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no\\\'s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes.

Walking handsome and strong
Thick red tomatoes rest on top,
Lanky, tall, and long,
Fair white skin and scattered freckles go pop! Pop! Pop!
Walks so sturdy and plays so great,
Gives me a ride home and provides me with a snack,
Stale goldfish on the floor that nobody ate,
Eight years old and looking like he would probably have a six-pack!
I sit high in my seat,
A booster is where I’m strapped,
Almost as tall as him, but not nearly as big of feet,
He thinks I’m a pest, and his eyes say he’s trapped.
Our love is gone; it has come to an end,
“I love you,” and now he is the brother of my friend.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
