thinking identity new-life
Everyone thinks that a new place or a new identity will jumpstart a new life.
clothes skeletons hair
I love rewriting because that is where and how you discover the story. Its like you have this skeleton, and you get to put flesh on it and hair and clothes and really wonderful jewelry.
husband hard-work night
Housewives of the 1950s were supposed to create show-stopping meals every night for their hard-working husbands.
thinking self people
A lot of people hurl themselves into relationships to lose themselves, but I think the best relationships help us to be more ourselves, to bring forth our best selves.
pie indifferent cooks
I am an indifferent cook, but I can make pie.
husband cheater firsts
My first husband was a serial cheater.
people reason
L.A. is a place people come to for all sorts of reasons, often to reinvent themselves, and that fascinates me.
years want able
I really want to go into the future 500 years and be a quantum physicist. Not only would I get to see all the incredible inventions I know will be out there, but I'd be able to understand the science behind them!
book heart years
A haunting, harrowing punch to the heart, Among the Missing is flat-out brilliant. About the secrets we keep, the lives we are desperate to live, and the chances we miss, it's a psychological dazzler. Truly, one of my favorite books of this year-or any year.
being-yourself able imagine
Never be with anyone you couldn't imagine yourself being able to live without.
character people use
Writers are magpies, and we collect details about people and we use them for fictional characters.
along cover good readers title writers
All writers know how important a good title is. It's the first thing readers see, along with a knock-your-socks-off cover - a seductive 'come hither' for the story within.
bookstores delight indie love writers
Indie bookstores love writers as much as they love readers, and there is something about a community store, where you walk in, you feel known, and the delight in books is just infectious.
thinking long age
I think my stubbornness has served me well. I just knew at an early age what I wanted to do and I was determined to be able to make it happen, no matter how long it took.
