My life It isn't easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled the blue chip stock fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy and I've learned that not everyone can say this about their lives. But do not be misled. I am nothing special of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but I have loved someone with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
Nicholas Sparks

If I couldn't do it, I didn't want to waste my time writing the rest of the novel, knowing it would collapse at the end.
Nicholas Sparks
Promoting a book is always the same-busy but fun. I like to meet people who enjoy my work.
