I haven't taken my Christmas lights down. They look so nice on the pumpkin.
I think that most people would rather face the light of a real enemy than the darkness of their imagined fears.
Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 911, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D. C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.
Generation Z, they cleaned up their own mess.
I wrote 'The Zombie Survival Guide' because I wanted to read it, and nobody else was writing it. All I've been doing with everything I've written is answering questions that I had.
Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.
Any survival guide will tell you, don't buy a pair of combat boots before any disaster. They'll tear your feet up. Or water. Don't bring water with you because it'll tire you out and you'll lose too much fluid. Bring a water pump.
At the risk, then, of being shunned by some of my gloomier peers, I venture to tell you that writers work like demons, suffer greatly, and are also happy, in unmistakable ways, some of the time. If we had no knowledge of happiness, our novels wouldn't sufficiently resemble real life. Some of us are even made a little bit happy, on occasion, by the writing process itself. I mean, really, if there wasn't some sort of enjoyment to be derived, would any of us keep doing it?
I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.
We need to be accountable to God's family. Once we start living in a way that is people-friendly to all of God's family, we will also be environment-friendly.
The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
