Im working on a bunch of things with my daughter Emily. In some ways, shes a smarter and better editor than I am.
Patricia MacLachlanI have great respect for children. And I have great respect for their ability as writers.
Patricia MacLachlanWhat is perfect? Journey, a thing doesn't have to be perfect to be fine. That goes for a picture. That goes for life....Things can be good enough.
Patricia MacLachlanI, myself, write to change my life, to make it come out the way I want it to. But other people write for other reasons: to see more closely what it is they are thinking about, what they may be afraid of. Sometimes writers write to solve a problem, to answer their own question. All these reasons are good reasons. And that is the most important thing I'll ever tell you. Maybe it is the most important thing you'll ever hear. Ever.
