belt cleaning desire enjoy love rule seat symbolic wear
My love of cleaning is symbolic of my desire to rule the world... I always wear a seat belt because I enjoy being alive... and I like having two eyes, so yes to the safety goggles, too!
One thing about 'Thelma & Louise' we can't forget: Brad Pitt. Oh, yes.
few loved movies paul talk tries writer
You know what I loved about 'Sideways'? Well, the wine, of course. But it was one of the few movies in which being a writer was realistically depicted. I loved how the Paul Giamatti character tries so ineptly to talk about his book.
alone book cellar cool entire kid sit sneak
Honestly, my entire childhood could be summed up with one word: Reader. I was always hunched over a book; in fact, I was the only kid in the world who got paler in the summer, because I'd sneak down into our cool, dank cellar and sit alone with a book for hours.
age genre romance though
After about the age of 13, I was a romance addict. Still am, though I read just about every other genre as well. The only thing I really shy away from is political thrillers.
movies satisfying trip
There's something so satisfying about road trip movies - and books!
folks industry publishing writers
Sometimes, I'll hear from other writers or folks in the publishing industry that my books are rule-breakers, which I take as a compliment.
hard
It's hard to stop loving someone on cue, especially when he's still so kind and loving toward you.
classical lessons love played since took
I took piano lessons as a kid, and my daughter's played piano since before she started kindergarten, so classical piano is something I really love.
awful bit takes talent work
I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.
death grim hubris stasis
I think self-doubt, as grim as it can be, makes me a better writer. Stasis and hubris would probably be the death knell for my career.
seemingly
I think it's always interesting to learn what the seemingly spontaneous one-nighter actually reveals about a character.
ambition guess simply
I guess my ambition is simply to keep doing what I'm doing for as long as I can.
everywhere people proud publishing supportive
I do think people should be proud and supportive of their friends, in publishing and everywhere else.
