I don't believe you should surrender to certain things. I think there is that moment in life when you realize, oh, here it comes. I'm just going to let this happen and see what comes next. But mostly, we are given authorship. We are entitled to be the author of what we want to do. We either buck what we've been told or we buck other people. A lot of people tell us, oh, you'll never make it.

That's a gauntlet for me. That's, oh, yeah, well, just watch this. But the other still small voice that is always there is if you just take a minute to ask. Matthew, again, I go back to Matthew. It's the first book of the Bible I read that I started to really pay attention to when I was pretty young. But, you know, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Ask and ye shall receive.

It's pretty powerful. So all you really have to do is enumerate a question, a desire, a longing, whatever it might be. And the universe, God, will do everything he can to make it happen for you.

And seek and you shall find.

It's a double-edged sword, though, the grief book comment. Because when I first spoke to the people who represent me, I was about 50 pages in. And I said, I'm writing this book about my sister. They made assumptions about it.

I said, well, a grief book's, you know, maybe 100 pages long, and, you know, they're usually sort of little pamphlets, and, oh, we do this and that, and then maybe we get a publisher. And I thought, boy, that is just the most sort of dismissive, unresponsive, irresponsible relationship I've ever been in with an agent.

Why would I have someone represent me who just assumed whatever I was doing was like... could be reduced into something that they would just say, well, this is what we do with that kind of thing. So I was a little pissed off about that, honestly. So when I wrote, this is not a grief book, it's a life book. That was my feeling at the time. So I thought I better get that down on paper. That's all.

That's why it's in there. But, um, It gathered more steam and more value for me as I finished the process and realized that this really was about a life and the life I'm still living and the life that Karen now lives. I mean, it's an extraordinary thing. I mean, Kate had this vision a year and a half ago and she said, it's really amazing what you're doing.

It's like you're putting her in a library. She's going to be in a library. Your sister will live forever. And that was really great. She said, it's a great gift you're giving her. And I realized that I didn't know that at the time, but she's giving me a gift in this writing. But also there is this, I want people to know my sister. I want them to know what a great girl she was.

And I want her to have what I've had, this amazing gift I've had of approbation and applause and success and love. And yeah, and self-torture and all that nonsense. But that's my own sort of my wrestling with the why me thing, the survivor's guilt stuff you go through. But I wanted to give her her due. She is due this. My success... Couldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for Karen.

Wouldn't have happened. Knowing her, loving her, and the remarks that she said, you know, you're going to do it all, those were important things. And I did live for her in a lot of ways. So I wanted people to know about her, just to celebrate her.
