Nora Roberts quotes about
writing cleaners
I would hope that my writing's cleaner than it was when I started.
husband flower thinking
I don't think I am a traditional romantic who thinks about candlelight dinners and wonders if my husband is going to bring me flowers, though I'm delighted if he does. I'm more practical-minded. I find it incredibly romantic that my husband does the dishes.
women two house
Two women can't share a house comfortably, no matter how fond they might be of each other. It's got to be one woman's kitchen.
sex love-is faces
Love is very funny business. And sex - well, let's face it, sex is hysterical.
writing pages blank
I write every day. Even if I'm not writing well, I write through it. I can fix a bad page. I can't fix a blank one.
pleasure ifs edges
If you don't read for pleasure, you'll lose your edge as a writer.
summer book firsts
In the summer of 80, Silhouette bought my first book.
discipline guilt educated
I was educated by the nuns. Guilt and discipline — combine those and you'll be pretty productive.
boys fire blood
I had the blood and fire rule when my boys were young. You know, unless it's blood or fire, don't bother me.
technology
What is technology?... It's another god.
sex book wish
My fondest wish, I suppose, would be to die at the keyboard right after finishing a book, perhaps with a little time off to have some really good sex. It's not, 'Oh, thank God, this is book No. 250. I can die now.'
tools use research
I find I use the Internet more and more. It's just an invaluable tool. I do most of my research on the Net now - and certainly do the bulk of my communicating through email.
writing knowing expectations
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
coffee ifs
If you can't dance on it, it isn't coffee.
