I always quit at three when my kids come home from school so I feel pretty spoiled. ↗

I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them. ↗

I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told. ↗

All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are. ↗

Hawthorne has given us a tradition that some people refer to as Yankee Magic Realism, and I do think there is a certain quality to the landscape that definitely leads into the dark woods. ↗

Every time I finish a book, I forget everything I learned writing it - the information just disappears out of my head. ↗

Even in times when it's difficult to figure out, how do you go forward, art - and books - always help. ↗

After a while, the characters I'm writing begin to feel real to me. That's when I know I'm heading in the right direction. ↗

You can try to take sorrow and make it into something enduring, meaningful and beautiful. I always feel guilty that this is my job, that I get to do this. ↗
