Its all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but its that determination.

We weren't doing blow jobs when I was growing up.

My husband says I have too much imagination, but I don't think a writer can have too much imagination!

I don't believe in writer's block. There are good days when you're writing and less good days. I've learned that if it's not happening to walk away and return later. I doodle a lot and often get my best ideas with a pencil in my hand while I'm doodling. The problem is, sometimes I lose my doodles and that's bad!

I think we made out [sexuality changing]. I think that's really great, and we didn't jump into intercourse. And there were no blow jobs.

I wanted to tell him that I will never be sorry for loving him. That in a way I still do - that maybe I always will. I'll never regret one single thing we did together because what we had was very special. Maybe if we were ten years older it would have worked out differently. Maybe. I think it's just that I'm not ready for forever.

Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it.
