- It’s been nice writing post titles that do not contain the words goblins or Internet.
- It takes days to go through more than a thousand e-mails.
- Writing is, as I’ve known since the age of 6, nearly as important to me as breathing.
- However, there is more to life than filling up blank page upon blank page. It’s important to enjoy the concrete pleasures of the real world on a steady basis.
- The active spaces between writing are actually what makes writing possible in the first place. It is where perspective originates.
- I cannot stop thinking like a writer. It is how I view the world, how I filter my experiences, how I am wired.
- Writing is both a compulsion and a privilege.
- There are few things in this world greater than an unchecked, wanton reading spree.
- Writing keeps my life organized.
- Writing abets my sanity.
- I have a lot of catching up to do, both on here and with my freelance work.
- My sense of purpose has been renewed.
- I have the best readers in the world.

Nancy Carroll agrees that it’s wonderful to be back, darlings!
