goodbye baby self-harm
Hush little baby, Dont you cry, Dont cut your arms, Dont say goodbye. Put down that razor, Put down that light, It maybe hard but, You'll win this fight.
husband writing fighting
Inevitably I draw on my own relationships when I write, so if I'm writing about a fight between a husband and his wife, of course I'm going to think about a recent fight with my husband. Or if I'm writing about sisters, of course I'm going to think about my sister.
sorry regret two
There are two kinds of sorry. There is the sorry imbued with regret. And a pure sorry. The kind that is merely asking for forgiveness, nothing more.
fleeting human-nature occasional
It's simply human nature to have an occasional, fleeting interest in someone whom you once loved.
unfinished-business stubborn way
I wondered why I was so startled by the encounter when there was something that seemed utterly inevitable about the moment. Not in any grand, destined sense; just in the quiet, stubborn way that unfinished business has of imposing its will on the unwilling.
redemption i-can accidents
But now I can see that there is redemption and beauty in an accident emanating from love.
kindness empathy missing

poor-planning failing future-planning
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
thinking past let-him-go
The worst is when someone in your past trumps the person in your present, and you think to yourself: if I'd known this, then maybe I wouldn't have let him go.
struggle hard-work luck
Luck is buying a lottery ticket along with your Yoo-hoo and striking it rich. Nothing about my life is lucky- it is all about hard work, it is all uphill struggle.
real character writing
I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.
school law law-school
I don't really know why I went to law school.
book character age
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
book cheesy littles
I like to match what I wear to my book jacket - it's a little bit cheesy, but it's my thing.
