It is ridiculous that they have been allowing the import of birds as pets in recent weeks without even placing them in quarantine.

It's a panic time for parents.They're not thinking about this information, they're focused on getting their child back.
assemble drift organized pajamas sit slowly work
I try to work in the mornings. Usually, I write in my pajamas and slowly assemble myself. I don't get organized and sit down and get dressed. I do the laundry. I drift in and out of writing.
stretched
Right now, we're stretched payday to payday, but we'll get it done.
agreement except stop
It was too treacherous. It was unsafe. All the coaches, except one, were in agreement (to stop the meet).
assumption colored complexity explore individual relationship seemed struck
I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner's relationship with the person who's died.

characters endless events infinite necessary novel start voice
I think the plasticity of the novel is its greatest challenge. There are no rules; there is no necessary form. You can know what you want it to be, or do, and still not know how to write it. There are endless possibilities, infinite choices. What voice should it be in? What events to start with? What characters will be part of it?
I don't think it will ever be back like it was before.
basically room
Basically we had outgrown our facility. And we were landlocked and didn't have room to grow.
pull type
I write all over the house. Because I write in longhand, I can go anywhere I want... I have some notebooks here and there, and then I type it in and pull it out, and I do the revisions all over the place.
draft front lined move pleasure sitting taking watch
I always write my first draft in longhand, in lined notebooks. I move around the house, sitting where I like, and watch the words spool out in front of me, actually taking a lot of pleasure in the way they look in my strange handwriting on the page.
