"John Steinbeck was one of my earliest heroes because he wrote about the poor. Stephen King became a hero because he wrote so well of misfit kids, the nerds and geeks" (Nelson).
"Most of my heroes are just decent people. Decency is rare and underrated. I think my writing is somehow just about decency" (Nelson).
"If you write about pain, you can end up searching for more pain to write about, that kind of thing; that self-destructive route. We need to get away from that. We can write about pain and anger without having it consume us, and we have to learn how to do that in our lives as individuals before we can start doing that as writers" (Nelson).
