Even though I don't write about things that come from my life because I'm lucky, and I live in a great place with great kids and, you know, a great husband, I think you can find threads of me in the characters, so that's really what being a writer is, probably.
When you love someone, you don't see parts of him you don't like.
Maybe mothers - consciously or subconsciously - repelled their daughters in different ways.
