Memories are like water.

When you're in the world looking for only one thing, you find it or it finds you. The obsession can be mutual

Memories are like water.

The intricacy of plotting a thriller is akin to writing formal poetry.

It's not that I bounce ideas off of my children as much as it is that having children has had a profound effect on the way I see the world. They have mined my soul. They've made me a better person and therefore a more empathetic writer.

One of the reasons I write in different genres is that I get to have the feeling - even fleetingly - that I'm not just writing like Baggott again. I can escape myself.

Being cross-genre, you can encounter an image and decide not only how to best express it but what form would express it best.
