My husband and I get along great. We're both introverts, and it's hard to make new friends.
From S. E. Hinton
When I see a movie with someone it's kind of uncomfortable.
My mother was physically and emotionally abusive. My father was an extremely cold man.
Naturally, everything boils down to relationships in my books.
How a piece ends is very important to me. It's the last chance to leave an impression with the reader, the last shot at 'nailing' it. I love to write ending lines; usually, I know them first and write toward them, but if I knew how they came to me, I wouldn't tell.
The thing is, the Tulsa experience that I wrote about in 'The Outsiders' is closer to the universal experience than it would be if I wrote it from L.A. or New York. It's an everyman story.
I grew up here and my friends are here. There's nothing wrong with here.
Any writer who gives a reader a pleasurable experience is doing every other writer a favor because it will make the reader want to read other books. I am all for it.
My goal from being a child was to have a happy home life.
When I was in high school, the genders were so separate from each other. If you weren't 'dating' somebody, you couldn't just be friends with somebody.
