book writing stories
I like terrific writing, but I also like a terrific story. My favorite books have both, and they're by contemporary, commercial American writers.
smart book people
Do you know what they call people who hoard books? Smart.
smart book heart
The thing about love is that we can't control whether we get it, but we can control whether we give it. And each feels as good as the other. Your heart doesn't know if it's loving a man, a book, or a puppy. If your heart were that smart, it would be your brain.
jobs book thinking
I love my job, and I love books. I read anything, including cereal boxes. I care deeply about what people think of my books, and I memorize my reviews. I love to hear from my readers.
mom book people
But the fact is, I'm not work-identified. I'm not a lawyer or a writer. I'm a mom, and I'm a woman, and that's the kind of people I want to see in books in the starring role.
book house ifs
If it weren't for book tours, I would never leave my house.
book people mind
I am an open book, literally. I don't mind if people know way too much about me.
chickens dogs feed gives home office stop time until walk words work written
I get up around 8 o'clock, which gives me enough time to walk dogs and feed chickens and horses. Then I get to work in my home office upstairs, and basically, I don't stop until I've written 2,000 words and/or the Stephen Colbert show is over.
dead literary
You don't have to be dead to write a classic, and you don't have to be literary to be smart.
care difference ethical legal moral stories women
What I'm doing is writing stories about women who care about justice. They are women who think about the difference between right and wrong, what's legal and illegal, ethical and unethical, moral and immoral.
albeit both bottom fiction funny hard love memoir true unique
I love writing both fiction and memoir. Both have unique challenges; bottom line, fiction is hard because you have to come up with the credible, twisty plot, and memoir is hard because you have to say something true and profound, albeit in a funny way.
morning blessing people
Even people who counted their blessings never counted them in the morning. For one thing, there wasn't time.
cat people way
People project all sorts of emotions onto their cats, and cats like it that way.
believe law numbers
don't argue what you don't believe in. Rule number one, in law and in life.
