And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home. ↗

If writers write, then rangers range. And I’d like to wake up every morning and be a mother, so I could eat my own clothes. ↗

My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms. ↗

In our office, we have a whiteboard with all of our ideas and things we want to write on it - great ideas we have that we haven't had the time to get around to yet. ↗
