I do what I love and what I always dreamed of doing for a living. I write love stories, and I have always had a publisher willing to publish them. I have a sizable and loyal audience. I have made best-seller lists and won awards. What more could anyone ask for?

I didn't think I would be an exceptional writer, and I thought I might be a useful publisher. I've never regretted it.

I'm very fortunate to be doing what I dreamed of, what I love. So few people get that opportunity. So while people continue liking what I write, I'm going to happily continue.

I believe I'm a better writer now than I was when I started. I'm grateful that I had good guidance because you don't make it in this business without good editors and a lot of support from your publishers.

From the very beginning, I envisioned success as selling enough books so I could keep getting published and continue to write what I wanted to without compromising.

I have been blessed to have the same editor and work for a great publishing house.

But if I worried too much about publishers' expectations, I'd probably paralyze myself and not be able to write anything.

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.

Everything I publish is for my readers.
