moving want littles
... It's hard to make changes. Things get so comfortable and you don't want to move. Maybe it would do you good to be a little uncomfortable for a while, and do something different...
writing play lunch
If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood. Going out to lunch can cost me anywhere from five hours to three days. And for me it's not worth it. For my own sense of well-being I have to finish my work before I can play.
kids car trying
I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.
dream never-settle someday
Never settle for less than your dreams, somewhere, sometime, someday, somehow, you'll find them
long rejection trying
The usual way - through a long series of rejections, revising my manuscripts, and kept trying again and again. Finally I was fortunate enough to find a good agent.
summer children lying
I like summer. I like warmer weather and long days. I'm one of those silly people who still enjoy lying in the sun - my children are horrified!
lonely character writing
Writing is a solitary endeavor, but not a lonely one. When you write, your world is populated by the characters you invent and you feel those people filling your lives.
wall writing animal
Like a small animal burrowing into its hole, I shift furniture around, and back myself into a cozy corner, with my back to the wall...and then I can write.
writing people trying
I always try to write about believable people.
moments enjoy bits
At the moment, I'm enjoying John Grisham quite a bit.
book character care
A book begins with an image or character or situation that I care about deeply.
teenage real passion
In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.
real thinking literature
I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.
pot
