I keep being told that my writing is getting better and better. - Now, at first I am thrilled by that, but then I think, Isn't everybody's? Do some authors grow cozy with their own style, and stay there?I think of writing fiction as an art form. As such, it's a constant exploration of new and developing ideas.

There are many of us who live alongside others, less fortunate, watching them go through everyday suffering for one reason or another, and weâ__re not moving even our little finger to help them. Itâ__s in human nature, unfortunately: for the most part, the only people we genuinely care about are ourselves. However, once in a while we encounter different species, different kind of human beings among us: full of compassion, willing and wanting to help, and doing so with joy and happiness. Those are a rarity. But you know what, my dear? Being one of them is not a special calling- itâ__s a choice. So what will you choose, huh?

A day without someone to hold you or a day without someone to share, is a day easily forgotten._ - Vera Richardson in Mr Alhourani's Dead Man's Spots
