I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.
If wanted to play a sport, I played a sport. If I wanted to do things that many girls born in 1950 didn't do, I did it.
As long as my face is on page one, I don't care what they say about me on page seventeen.
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
Sometimes I journal three pages, sometimes I journal thirty pages, but I'm writing all the time, and whatever's happening is happening in real time for me.
One should not believe too strongly in a life which can easily vanish.

During my last year of college I wrote the same ten pages over and over again. Those ten pages became the first few pages of my first novel. I can still recite the opening paragraph from memory - only now I cringe when I do it because they are - surp...
For the last few years I've tried to force myself to write at least one page every day, which doesn't sound like much but it's actually pretty hard to manage. Because I'm not allowed to do a make-up day. I can't do two pages the next day. The punishm...
Short stories have no net. The writer cannot take a leisurely sixty pages to get things moving, or make a side trip onto a barely related subject, or slack off in the last forty pages. Everything is right now, right here, in the reader's grasp and mi...
