sister sibling loss
If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
process publishing
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
family morning fall
I woke up one morning thinking about wolves and realized that wolf packs function as families. Everyone has a role, and if you act within the parameters of your role, the whole pack succeeds, and when that falls apart, so does the pack.
girl believe perfect
She stares at me for a moment, and then she bursts out laughing. “You haven’t seen his perfect little wife and his perfect little girls. Believe me, Oliver, I’m not the great love of his life, the one he’ll never forget.” “You are to me,” I say.
beautiful toxic beautiful-things
Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
block believe writing
I don't believe in writer's block. Think about it - when you were blocked in college and had to write a paper, didn't it always manage to fix itself the night before the paper was due? Writer's block is having too much time on your hands.

drama silly order
[There's a] point where you have to leave the dough alone. It's silly to anthropomorphize bread, but I love the fact that it needs to sit quietly, to retreat from touch and noise and drama, in order to evolve. I have to admit, I often feel that way myself.
suffering fiction
That's why we read fiction, isn't it? To remind us that whatever we suffer, we're not the only ones?
forgiving matter doe
It does'nt matter who forgives you, if you're the one who can't forget.
writing mean different
The weapons an author has at her disposal are flawed. There are words that feel shapeless and overused. Love, for example. I could write the word love a thousand times and it would mean a thousand different things to different readers.
