writing trying stuff
I try to write about the stuff that torments us all.
children writing writing-stories
I started writing stories as a child.
writing one-day catharsis
When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.
mean writing survival
Her writing was her only escape, her only means of survival. It was a respite from a cruel world, despite seemingly comfortable surroundings.
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.
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.
kids writing night
My kids are more precious to me than anything. I'm with them all day, and I write all night.
children book writing
I used to think when I had children that somebody else had the rule book and they hadn't given it to me, and everybody else knew how to do it right except me. I find the same thing in writing: you think that everybody knows what they're doing and that you don't.
writing cake literature
A bad review is like baking a cake with all the best ingredients and having someone sit on it.
books books-and-reading nice people versions
People do like the film versions of things, ... I thought this was a nice way to get my books back into the marketplace.
children otherwise
You can't have nine children and not be organized. Otherwise it just looks like Appalachia.
exempt people
When people look at me outside, they think, 'She's so lucky,' but no one's exempt from tragedy.
