Least Favorite Word:
impactI don't mind it as a noun, but I hate it as a verb--like, "The bad weather impacted their picnic plans."
Favorite Quote:
"All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. Writers are like that: remembering where we were, what valley we ran through, what the banks were like, the light that was there and the route back to our original place. It is an emotional memoryâwhat the nerves and the skin remember as well as how it appeared."
- Toni Morrison
