Then I thought, boy, isn't that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad.
Sharon CreechAs readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors. I love to hike, kayak, and swim. I also love to read (which is probably not a surprise) and I love the theater and art museums. I especially love all the instruments of art: inks, pens, paintbrushes, watercolors and oils, fine papers and canvases, and although I love to mess around with these tools and objects, I have minimal artistic skills.
Sharon CreechDonโt be in too much of a rush to be published. There is enormous value in listening and reading and writingโand then putting your words away for weeks or monthsโand then returning to your work to polish it some more.
Sharon CreechI wondered about Mrs. Winterbottom and what she meant about living a tiny life. If she didn't like all that baking and cleaning and jumping up to get bottles of nail polish remover and sewing hems, why did she do it? Why didn't she tell them to do some of the things themselves? Maybe she was afraid there would be nothing left for her to do. There would be no need for her and she would become invisible and no one would notice.
