My goal is not to have everlasting fame, it is simply to write the stories that are asking me to write them and to share them with the people that want to hear them.

Here’s something I bet you don’t know:
every time someone writes a story about a dragon

in an ice storm. I’ve made peace with it.
Don’t you ever feel
like you’re just
a story someone is telling
about someone like you?
