When Im writing, I spend all my time in The Grocer on Elgin buying ready-made meals; I think they are the only reason my husband and kids havent left me.

Our minds and memories are crowded with the common experience of nature.

I like to come into my workspace and feel its a living environment and not frozen, which is why I often change or add to the pictures on the wall.

When I was a child, I wanted to raise horses in Wyoming or be a cabin boy on a pirate ship.

Remove all the traffic lights, yellow lines, one-way systems and road markings, and let blissful anarchy prevail. I imagine it would produce a kind of harmony.

I dont get distracted until the weight of other things left undone finally tips the balance; my mind is flooded with calls, bills, supermarkets, letters, and I have to stop and sort things out.
