I realized how wonderful YA is and how I really wanted to write something that created that level of intrigue.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm finding writing very fascinating.
I had this unusual mix of curiosity, the ability to write in ways people understood, and when I appeared, viewers seemed to trust me to get them through some cataclysmic changes.
Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.
I don't think I'm such an amazing person who needs to be written about.
The idea that you could make a living from writing always thrilled me.
Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.
Most people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader's daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage.
I think anybody alert to the inspiration to write has to be kind of sensitized to the unexpected.
I was fortunate enough to write about things I really love, and love can be very analytic.
I've always wanted to be a part of that experience of writing to an audience that is just starting to fall in love with books. When I felt that my writing for adults had become cemented, I decided to write a YA series.
