I Prefer True Over Happy Now.

I Prefer True Over Happy Now.

I'm A Writer Of Faith Who Worries About The Intolerance Of Religion. I Look At The Past And Fear We Haven't Learned From It. I Believe That Humanity Is Capable Of Evil As Well As Great Acts Of Courage And Goodness. I Have Hope. Deep Down, I Believe In The Human Spirit, Although Sometimes That Belief Is Shaken.

The Lessons Learned In Journalism Also Apply. Writing For Npr Has Taught Me To Cut A Piece In Half And Then In Half Again - Without Losing The Essence. Apply That To The Swollen Prose Of A Bulky Novel And You Might Reveal A Beautiful Work.

You Learn To Exploit Genre For The More Important Things - To My Mind - Like Story, Character, Image, Language.

I Prefer A Cluttered Workspace.
