I laugh when I'm writing. I feel like all my work is funny to me.

There are so many people who write really interesting work and try super hard and still don't get published.

It's really difficult to know what is the best way forward when you're not getting a lot of support - and probably most writers aren't getting enough support.

I've heard a lot of editors and agents say, "If the book is good, it will get published." I totally disagree with that.

When the kids were growing up, I think they thought the worst thing about me being a mom is that I would laugh at them. They would say something that they thought was serious and intense and I would laugh. I thought it was funny, but they don't want to be laughed at.

I love ghost stories, I love to read them, and I love the idea of being haunted.

No one really wants to be laughed at.
