life slightly standing
I do know that I have always been one of life's observers, always standing slightly on the outside, watching.
frightened
I consider myself pretty fearless, but the one thing I have always been frightened of is cancer.
goes good holiday looking
I am not someone who's very good at looking after herself, and I am also not someone who goes on holiday very often.
great love ski wear
I am not a big skier, but I love apres-ski wear and imagine I would look great in an all-white, fur-trimmed ski suit.
decorating eclectic means styles
For me, decorating perfection means eclectic styles and collections of beautiful things like pottery, pillboxes and match strikers.
amazing thrilled
Chick lit was amazing, and I was thrilled to be part of it.
As a teenager, you are still entirely wrapped up in yourself.

I am very busy, life is very busy, and I was, I think, a somewhat lazy friend. I love them, I know they love me, but I didn't make much of an effort.
although definitely england heart home love miss passionate
I have a deep and passionate love of America. It is where I have always thought I would be happiest, and although I miss England desperately, I find that my heart definitely has its home over here.
adore interested promises supposed terrible
I adore children, but I was never that interested in new born babies. It's a terrible thing to have to admit, and you're not supposed to think that way as a woman, but everyone promises it's different when you have your own. It wasn't for me, though.

I have spent many a night in an Internet chat room, but not since I've been married. I don't do the chat rooms anymore, but I have become completely addicted to Ebay.
business house love solitary
I love getting out the house because writing is such a solitary business that even being at the library makes me feel part of the world.
Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.
attitudes changed close death friendship illness
Going through an illness and then death of a close friend has changed my attitudes to friendship enormously.
