Quote

Writing is so entwined with my being that I can't imagine a life without it.

I write because I can't imagine not writing.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

It's pretty intense writing about my own life, my own struggles.

I love writing. I feel ridiculously lucky that this is what I get to do all day.

Writing is a great love of mine.

I'm not one of those true writers who can't bear not to be writing. Yet it's one of the most important things in my life.

My life has really been about writing, though some think it's all about once having been in a ball dress and having an odd life and marrying all the time. But it's the writing that's always been the point.

I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.
