If You Don't Go To A Dance

I Never Wanted To Write. I Just Wrote Letters Home From A Kibbutz In Israel To Reassure My Parents That I Was Still Alive And Well Fed And Having A Great Time. They Thought These Letters Were Brilliant And Sent Them To A Newspaper. So I Became A Writer By Accident.

Women Who Start Out As Ugly Ducklings Don't Become Beautiful Swans. What They Mainly Become Is Confident Ducks. They Take Charge Of Their Lives.

Of Course, I Should Have Done What Doctors Said And Walked For Miles Every Day And Not Eaten Great Amounts Of Butter. But Then, Life Is Life, And If We All Did What They Said We Should Do, It Would Be A Different World.

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

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