girl crazy real
People are so obsessed with that these days. As long as you're healthy, what difference do a few pounds make? Crazy diets. Thirteen-year-old girls on magazine covers who wind up in hospitals because they're so anorexic. Real women don't look like that. And who wants them to? No one wants a woman who looks sick or like she;s been from a refugee camp.
giving-up order giving
I don't want to have to give up me, in order to be his.
things-in-life one-thing
Love meant something to her, she dreamt of it, thought of it, wrote of it. It was the one thing in life that had eluded her completely.
never-lose-hope courage-to-love ifs
Never lose hope, and if you can, find the courage to love again.
mean writing survival
Her writing was her only escape, her only means of survival. It was a respite from a cruel world, despite seemingly comfortable surroundings.
want claims ifs
You can have anything you want, if you go out and get it. If you claim it as your own. You have a right to it.
moving want littles
... It's hard to make changes. Things get so comfortable and you don't want to move. Maybe it would do you good to be a little uncomfortable for a while, and do something different...
writing play lunch
If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood. Going out to lunch can cost me anywhere from five hours to three days. And for me it's not worth it. For my own sense of well-being I have to finish my work before I can play.
kids car trying
I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.
dream never-settle someday
Never settle for less than your dreams, somewhere, sometime, someday, somehow, you'll find them
long rejection trying
The usual way - through a long series of rejections, revising my manuscripts, and kept trying again and again. Finally I was fortunate enough to find a good agent.
summer children lying
I like summer. I like warmer weather and long days. I'm one of those silly people who still enjoy lying in the sun - my children are horrified!
lonely character writing
Writing is a solitary endeavor, but not a lonely one. When you write, your world is populated by the characters you invent and you feel those people filling your lives.
wall writing animal
Like a small animal burrowing into its hole, I shift furniture around, and back myself into a cozy corner, with my back to the wall...and then I can write.
