book people forever
If there is one thing I hope my books do always and forever, its that they honor working people.
levels intimacy
The intimacy. The deepest level of love. The knowledge that someone understands you, is rooting for you, is sharing your life.
talking roots would-be
And so, when I was a young writer I always worked hard on imagery, and I knew that the roots of imagery were the senses - and that if my readers could feel, taste and see what I was talking about, I would be able to tell them a story.
writing emotional grandparent
But the most precious research to me came from the paperwork filed on behalf of my grandparents and great-grandfather. The ship's manifest showed that they could read and write. I am still emotional when I look at those boxes checked yes.
writing silence sound
I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet.
horse your-side matter
The wedding vows are a license to be a complete jerk, with full knowledge that the person you married has agreed, no matter how large a horse's ass you are, to stay by your side until death. A fool could tell you this is a bad deal.
book world clubs
Book clubs are the best thing that has happened to the world of publishing.
art grandchildren treasure
Our faces will become works of art that our grandchildren will treasure.
boys use cameras
I don't use a crap camera, I don't eat junk, and I'm not going to a dance where the boys are bores
loneliness first-love worry
Maybe a first love exists to reaffirm the best parts of yourself, the choices you made when you didn't worry about the consequences. Maybe a first love exists to remind you to be brave in the moment, to stand up for your feelings, instead of shrinking back in the face of potential loneliness.
stories moments enough
Moments are history. If you have enough of them, they become a story.
girl action practicals
A practical girl never pines; she takes action.
wall night cake
Money doesn't have anything have anything to do with the magnificence of a person. It doesn't. What matters is what you make. Whether it's a cake for bingo night or a costume for a saint or a wall of water-whatever you pour into this life is what makes you rich.
memories grandmother people
People have often told me that one of their strongest childhood memories is the scent of their grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmothers, but I could always count of the Bookmobile.
