I Don't Think It's Shameful To Admit

I Just Like To Inhabit A Character Really Deeply.

I Do Think I Was Trying To Entertain The Reader More Than I Was Trying To Purge Myself.

I've Had People Say Very Dismissive Things About My Books, But I Also Feel Like I Probably Have More Readers Because I'm A Woman. I Mean, More Readers Are Women And More People Who Buy Books Are Women, So I Don't Feel Like It's A Total Disadvantage To Be A Female Writer.

I Feel Like As I've Gotten Older I've Unfortunately Come To The Decision That A Lot Of People Who Seem Normal And Boring Maybe Are Normal And Boring.

Being Raised In An Unstable Household Makes You Understand That The World Doesn't Exist To Accommodate You, Which... Is Something A Lot Of People Struggle To Understand Well Into Their Adulthood. It Makes You Realize How Quickly A Situation Can Shift, How Danger Really Is Everywhere. But Crises When The Occur, Do Not Catch You Off Guard; You Have Never Believed You Lived Under A Shelter Of Some Essential Benevolence. And An Unstable Childhood Makes You Appreciate Calmness And Not Crave Excitement.
