She sighed once, wishing she had a talent for the details of telling stories. She wasn't bad at themes, she mused, but she could never figure out how to turn a theme into an engaging tale. So she read instead, and admired those who could.

About This Quote

I love reading. I love it when my mind is filled with the words of my favorite books. I love it when my imagination is filled with the words of my favorite books. I love the way my mind is filled with the words of my favorite books when I can't sleep at night. It's almost like a form of meditation for me.
