I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.
In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.
I love turning my daughter on to old movies.
Keeping people neurotic and depressed and ignorant and self-doubting is oppressive.
I think moms need to share information on a regular, intimate basis.
Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.
