Always Write As If You Are Talking

Of Course I Wanted Children. Bright, Gorgeous, Loving Children. I Could Almost See Them.

I Don't Think You're Happier If You're Thin Or Beautiful Or Rich Or Married. You Have To Make Your Own Happiness. My Heroines Do Not Become Beautiful Elegant Swans, They Become Confident Ducks And Get On With Life.

Everybody Is A Hero In Their Own Story If You Just Look.

The Great Thing About Getting Older Is That You Become More Mellow. Things Aren't As Black And White, And You Become Much More Tolerant. You Can See The Good In Things Much More Easily Rather Than Getting Enraged As You Used To Do When You Were Young.

I Don't Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Swans In My Stories. I Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Confident Ducks.
