What's the point of having a book club if you don't get to eat brownies and drink wine?

I remember being banned from other houses as a younger child during the winter holiday season; I was the only one who didn't believe in Santa Claus, and I was ruining everyone's Christmas.

Sometimes, things are just exercises.

I'm not that much of a researcher. I'm good at channeling characters, and I'm good at structure.

With apologies to all my past boyfriends, I never loved a man the way I loved my old apartment.

I wish I could write while I'm on the road but it never works for me. I need to be sitting still.

In 1998, I started a blog, something I could control very easily and update at my own whim.
