Throughout my career I__e lived in constant fear that I wouldn__ be good enough, that I__ have nothing to say, that I__ be laughed at, humiliated__nd I__ old enough to know that fear will follow me to the very last word I__l ever write. As for now, I feel the first itch of the novel I__ supposed to write__he grain of sand that irritates the soft tissues of the oyster. The beginning of the world as I don__ quite know it. But I trust I__l begin to know it soon.

A Lowcountry Heart: Reflections on a Writing Life

"

In life we have our trophy people. These are the ones we work hard for, we are proud of. We want to show them off to our family, our friends, we want them on our arm at company functions. We take pictures with them to let everyone know we feel like a winner and we are happy.Then you have your participation ribbons, the ribbons you get just for simply showing up. You didn't have to earn it, it was just given to you. These things usually end up in a drawer somewhere, maybe you pick them up again when you are bored and say "that was a fun night, I wonder if they are still handing out these things?" but you don't tell people about it, nothing to be proud of.
