I didn't know I was really a writer until I read it in the New York Times. And then I thought, "Oh my god, maybe I can really do this". That was a review of "Margaret."
The creative process; I enjoy thinking up the stories and situations for my books.
I don't necessarily want to talk about a book that I read. Even when I love it.
Isn't that interesting. All the book clubs. I've never belonged to one.
Do not let anyone discourage you. If they try: get determined, not depressed.
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
