I know you've run away - everybody gets the urge to do that some time - but sooner or later you'll want to go home.

You think you want to know something, and then once you do, all you can think about is erasing it from your mind.

This is what I know about myself. She was all I wanted. And I took her away.

I didn't know then what I wanted, but the ache for it was palpable.
love bees-and-honey want
Every little thing wants to be loved.
betrayal religion want
Betrayal of any kind is hard, but betrayal by one's religion is excruciating. It makes you want to rage and weep.
writing trying want
A lot of time you write out of some unconscious place. I try to trust what is coming and where it wants to take me.
special-you earth want
Every living creature on the earth is special. You want to be the one that puts an end to one of them?
prayer heart want
The words were unexpected, but so incisively true. So much of prayer is like that - an encounter with a truth that has sunk to the bottom of the heart, that wants to be found, wants to be spoken, wants to be elevated into the realm of sacredness.

There are so many different things out there trying to hook our attention, we writers have to be very selective and make certain that it is coming from inside out, not outside in.

'The Secret Life of Bees' was my first novel, so I had no process. I was flying by the seat of my pants, as they say, trying to understand how I, as a novelist, would work with story.
agenda core desire religious specific stories understand work written
My stories have a deep spiritual core because I have a deep desire to understand things of the spirit, but yet I don't think I've written these stories from any kind of specific religious agenda because I don't think that would work.
believe common compels greater impulse misguided preserving pursuit
I want to believe that while we may sometimes read in the misguided pursuit of preserving our separation, there is a greater impulse inside us that compels us to read in search of the common heart.
