love
I love the satire and skewering of comedy writing.
I make things up for a living. It would be pretty boring to just fictionalize real people.
fifth kids since
I was one of those dorky kids who'd wanted to go to Harvard since the fifth grade.
compared felt lived
I was really nerdy. Compared with my sisters, I often felt like a boring person because I lived so much in my head and in books.
love
I'm just grateful that my parents still love each other.
since truth version
I've seen some version of 'An Inconvenient Truth' since I was born.
entirely fictional
In actuality, 'Sammy's House' can and should be read as an entirely fictional comedy set in a fascinating political world.
time written
In my free time, I'd written 'Sammy's Hill' - it had started out as a play. I just did it for myself.
favorite
'Jitterbug Perfume' is one of my favorite books.
fans
My parents were enthusiastic fans of 'Sammy's Hill.' But they think 'Sammy's House' is a better book.
love
Take it from me: I really love making things up, which is why I write fiction for a living.
develop fed tv volatility
After writing for TV for a while, I got sort of fed up with all of the cancellations and the volatility in that industry. Also, you're always writing for someone else's character and story, and I really wanted to develop my own.
bitter both decided route warm
I consciously decided to make both 'Sammy's Hill' and 'Sammy's House' more of a warm satire and not go the route of writing a dark and bitter book about D.C.
both depiction discussion fictional labels people shameless sides sort systems truth
I don't really go into labels or an in-depth discussion of different value systems because for me, it's sort of the truth of the situation in D.C. Certainly, in my fictional depiction of it, there are decent, shameless people on both sides at every level.
