“To my surprise, I felt a certain springy keenness. I was ready to hike. I had waited months for this day, after all, even if it had been mostly with foreboding. I wanted to see what was out there.

“Don't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find.

“My work is very dear to me, and certainly I have had all the emotional highs and lows that go with trying to get it to an audience.

I don't have a period of months where I can't get anything done and I wander around tearing my hair out. When I come back from a book tour, for instance, I might have one day where I sleep late and then check my e-mail, and then go for a walk, and then the next day I'm really itching to get back at writing a story.” WritingTryingKindI CanBookDoneStoriesSeemsMightNextSleepWalksAudienceEmotionalHairMonthsPeriodsOne DayLateLowsTradeDearChecksInstanceWanderGet BackUnusualMailNext DayDetachmentHighs And LowsItchingSleep Late Author:Daniel Handler
