Before 'Fallen,' I'd written love stories and more love stories. I'd fallen in love with love stories - but they were also beginning to feel just a little bit too insular, too small.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In course of time my first novel appeared. It was a love story.
Writing is more about imagination than anything else. I fell in love with words. I fell in love with storytelling.
I like the idea of not having a definition of love and romance. The greatest love stories have been about people who haven't come together. More stories like that need to be explored.
All love stories are tales of beginnings. When we talk about falling in love, we go to the beginning, to pinpoint the moment of freefall.
I believe all stories are love stories, and there are kinds and kinds of love, so I will always write about love, but not necessarily romance.
Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times.
Music was something I was encouraged to do, which I appeared to be quite good at, but it was never a passion. Writing was always my first love.
I'd been in love before - I was always in love.
I was in love with the idea of love, so I created elaborate fictions for my relationships - fictions that allowed me to believe that what any given paramour and I shared looked a lot like love.
Love stories are probably all I've ever been able to write or want to write.
